New Partner Appointments March 2019

The partners are delighted to announce the appointment of two new partners in our private client team. 

Chris Sheppard joined us in 2016, with many years of experience already under his belt.  In the time he has been with us, he has developed a significant practice in Hexham as well as looking after many of our existing clients.   He is STEP qualified, and has become an indispensable member of the team in Hexham as well as a key part of our private client team across both offices.  It is with great pleasure that the firm recognises his contribution by promoting him to partner.

Kath Monteith has just joined the team.  She has a background of experience working in firms in Birmingham and London before she settled in the North East.  She is a seasoned practitioner and joins our Newcastle office to lead the private client team there.

“It is very exciting to have two new partners in the practice and around the boardroom table.  The private client practice is of course very long established, having been going since 1715, and we are delighted to have secured Chris and Kath to sustain and develop that practice.  Both are experienced, able practitioners who will bring us new energy and growth.”  Toby Gibson, Managing Partner
