The practice will be left in the capable hands of Martin Gurney, who will take over the managing partner role and Emma Skinner, who will be supported by a management team that has been carefully put together over recent years in anticipation of these events.
Martin said,“ We would like to thank both Mike and Sue for their commitment over so many years as they have built the foundations on which we can build and take the business positively into the future.”
