On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Fraser Brown Solicitors has bolstered its Lincoln branch with the appointment of a new business development executive.
Rachel Pringle will be tasked with identifying new revenue streams and strengthening the law firm’s existing Lincolnshire client base.
Pringle joins Fraser Brown following 16 years in the commercial and corporate banking sector, where she held senior roles at Handelsbanken, HSBC and Thompson & Richardson Financial Services.
She said: “Fraser Brown Solicitors is a highly regarded legal firm in the East Midlands, not only for delivering client-tailored solutions and listening to what clients want, but also culturally, as an exciting and dynamic firm to work for, with a commercial approach and fully committed team.”
Elsewhere, logistics firm Europa Worldwide Group has accepted two school-leavers onto its RAPID Career Development Programme in Nottingham.
Alisha Bowley and Kian Nelis have recently started on the personally tailored four year programme, which is the brainchild of Europa’s managing director Andrew Baxter.

The programme is intended to fast-track young people aged between 18 and 21 into senior leadership roles within four years.
Bowley said: “I was thrilled when I got the phone call to say I’d impressed the team at Europa with my thorough preparation and enthusiasm for the programme. It was a testing interview and assessment process and so being picked as a RAPID and a potential future leader of the business feels like a real achievement before I’ve even started working towards my goals at Europa.
“I can’t wait to see what the next four years holds and to become an integral part of the future of the business.”
Andrew Baxter added: “It’s been a long process to get to this point – from creating the idea to running a pilot scheme and holding assessment days – we’ve spent a lot of time and investment to ensure the programme is successful. Most importantly, we wanted to make sure we had the right people for the job. I believe we’ve hired some really strong individuals and I’m looking forward to see what they can achieve in the years to come.”
Europa is the UK’s largest independent freight forwarder. The company employs eight people at its branch on Colwick Quays Business Park.
