FORMER Eversheds International chief executive and chairman David Gray has joined the board of growth-hungry law firm DWF.
Mr Gray, who has joined in a non-executive capacity, will help steer the strategic direction of the Manchester-based national firm as it mulls opportunities here and overseas, DWF managing partner Andrew Leaitherland said.
Mr Gray was chairman of Eversheds International for four years and prior to this, was chief executive for six years. He is also Pro Chancellor and Chair of Council elect for Leeds University.
He said: “DWF has experienced remarkable growth in recent years and its distinctive sector-led approach has really helped it to stand out in the market. What I find particularly impressive about the firm is that every decision it takes is true to its original strategy, which is to build the business based on its client’s needs.
“It’s a great time to be joining DWF and I look forward to helping shape the future of such a dynamic and ambitious firm.”
Mr Leaitherland, added: “We’ve had a number of great opportunities recently which have allowed us to significantly expand our national presence.
