Fidler & Pepper Lawyers, which specialises in conveyancing, wills, probate and trusts, has appointed two new board members.

Joanne Godson and Wendy Walker have been made directors of the firm, which looks after clients across the UK from its offices in Mansfield and Sutton.

Chief executive Mark Slade said: “We’ve worked hard as a whole team to position Fidler & Pepper so that it moves forward, being a great place to work, with the right people in the right places.

“Both Joanne and Wendy have been key to the day-to-day running of the business, and also in the development of our strategic plans that are laying the foundations for a very strong future.”

Joanne has more than 30 years of experience of working in HR roles, and has been a consultant to Fidler & Pepper for 15 years.

Wendy joined the firm 37 years ago, aged 16, on a YTS scheme and has worked her way up, now managing the day-to-day activities of the conveyancing department.
