A LEDBURY law firm has welcomed four new members of staff to its offices in recent months, as it goes from strength to strength.

Southend-based DF Legal LLP recently welcomed Sean Ashton, Gemma Prosniewska, Jane Stephens and Jodie Baldwin to the team, following a successful 2015.

“We are delighted to welcome Sean, Gemma, Jane and Jodie, who bring a wealth of experience to the team, and we are sure they will play a major part in our future success,” said Lyn Gardiner, Partner at DF Legal.

She added: “It is heartening that at a time when many law firms across the country are experiencing difficulties, we appear to be going along the right tracks.”

Mrs Gardiner said she was sure the new staff would continue to cement the reputation the firm has "as an integral part of the Ledbury community", and added that all the new recruits would be part of the conveyancing team.
