On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Katie Beal and Patrick Wood

Fraser Brown Solicitors has announced the promotion of Katie Beal to senior associate and head of the family law team.

Beal joined Fraser Brown in 2000 where she undertook her training.

She said: “I am proud to be part of such a well-respected firm which continues to go from strength to strength. Fraser Brown remains independent which allows us to be very proactive and agile, helping to provide flexible options for clients, and it’s great to work for such a driven company.

“The family law team is highly experienced and we continue to see a growing demand for our specialist services. Myself and the team work on very sensitive cases and we are passionate about offering a comprehensive yet compassionate service.

“I’m really pleased to now be a senior associate and head of the family law team and I look forward to helping more clients and expanding the team further.”

Patrick Wood, managing partner at Fraser Brown, said: “Katie has played a significant role in the success and growth of the family law team and her promotion is testament to her ongoing commitment and dedication to providing an outstanding service to her clients.

“Katie has an extensive understanding of this complex area of law and having her at the helm is a real asset to the team. I wish Katie all the best with her new position.”

Timico, the telecoms firm based in Newark, Nottinghamshire, has announced the appointment of managed IT specialist, Neville Davis, to a new position as non-executive chairman.

An entrepreneurial business leader with over 20 years’ experience as a chief executive, including 12 years at a quoted company, Davis has a particularly strong track record in scaling and developing private-equity backed companies, having chaired and grown other tech businesses to in excess of £300 million turnover and 1,500 employees.

His appointment follows a £50m investment in Timico by growth investors Lyceum Capital in February as part of Timico’s plans for growth and to finance future selective acquisitions.
