A NORTH Yorkshire law firm has appointed two new Directors.

Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors, who have an office in Malton Market Place, announced the appointment of Belinda-Jane Poulter and Ian Barnard from November 1 which takes the number of Directors in the firm to 12.

Belinda began her career in the firm as a secretary in November 2002, progressing from secretary to senior associate solicitor over the past 14 years.

Ian spent 13 years with a law firm in East Anglia before joining Crombie Wilkinson in January 2014.

The team at the Malton office continues to expand with a growing team including new appointments in the roles of legal advisors, trainee solicitor and apprenticeships.

Jennifer Bartram, senior director and head of the Malton office said: “We are very pleased to welcome Belinda and Ian as Directors, a promotion they both deserve due to their hard work and commitment to delivering the best results for their clients and the firm.

“We also warmly welcome our new members to the Malton team who will continue to enhance the service delivered in this office. We have ambitious plans for the coming year which we are very excited about.”
