Intern to director in three years for Nottingham high-flier

Robyn Baxter

A 24-year-old has been made director of a Nottingham credit management and debt recovery company just three years after joining the company as an intern.

Robyn Baxter steps up at Philip Elliott Associates where she supervises the bulk of the firm’s legal activities including civil litigation, High Court enforcement, mediation and tracing.

“The progression is not quite how I planned it, but I love every minute of my job,” said Baxter who gained a Bachelor of Law degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice (distinction) from Nottingham Trent University with a further internship at a criminal defence practice in Birmingham and a work placement with a legal firm in Australia.

She added: “Being able to help both businesses and individuals who are often facing very testing times is a privilege. I can’t thank Philip enough for giving me such a wonderful opportunity,” says Robyn who also serves as an external legal consultant for the Nottingham Credit Union.

Company boss Philip Elliott said: “I originally invited Robyn to the company to be my ‘girl Friday’, to look after a lot of the legal side of things but she turned out to be a true all-rounder and is now a very important member of the team who is valued by all our clients.”
