He and the board never stood still and did a tremendous amount of work to secure the future of St Philips and its members; most notably the opening of our 2 new premises in London and Leeds giving members more access to work over a wider geographical spread. I am looking forward to overseeing the new look St Philips in what are undoubtedly exciting but challenging times for chambers and the Bar generally”.
