Appointments: Law firm welcomes new recruits; Director appointment for recruitment company; and more

YORK-based Guest Walker & Co has appointed two new commercial property solicitors as the team continues to grow.

Alison Munro has specialised in property law since her qualification as a solicitor in 2001.

Ms Munro, who worked in Manchester for international commercial law firms for five years, has been based in York since 2006 and her commercial property caseload will include business lease work and the buying and selling of properties with business elements.  

Mark Clayton joins Guest Walker & Co from a law firm in Darlington and will be working across the full range of commercial property transactions. He has been working within the commercial property sector since 1997 and has developed particular expertise in agricultural property work.

John Walker, senior partner, said: “We are delighted to welcome both Alison and Mark to the team as our commercial property division continues to go from strength to strength. There is a strong demand for our services in this area, and with over 30 years’ experience between them, our clients will be in incredibly capable hands. We feel that there is a gap in the Yorkshire commercial property market for a local firm that can provide real expertise without the expense and inconvenience often associated with using very large practices based in the bigger Northern cities.”

A RECRUITMENT executive has secured a directorship at the company with which she started her career.

Gigi Chung has risen through the ranks of technical and engineering recruitment agency RoS International since joining the company in 2000, to be appointed as a director earlier this month.

She joined RoS International after graduating from the University of Hull with a BA (Hons) in European Business.

Initially she supplied NHS trusts with technical and engineering staff, but a change in the political landscape saw her shift the focus of the business to power generation, providing engineers to some of the biggest energy infrastructure projects in the UK including West Burton power station in Lincolnshire and Ferrybridge in West Yorkshire.

During her time with RoS, she was branch manager at the company’s York office for five years and has been branch manager in Hull for the past eight.

RoS International, which is based on Parliament Street in Hull, supplies workers to the energy from waste sector as well as other green energy technologies including on and offshore wind farms.
