Recruitment milestone for law firm

KEOGHS, the Bolton-based defendant law firm, is marking a recruitment milestone with the announcement that its credit hire team has now increased to more than 100 staff.

The firm said demand for its innovative credit hire services has seen the division, set up in 2007, grow steadily despite difficult market conditions over the last two years which has led to an increase in jobs at the team’s Macron Stadium base.

Whilst Keoghs employ over 1000 staff across seven locations, this is a significant milestone for the solicitor’s credit hire division, which now acts for over 20 insurers with further growth anticipated over the next 12 months.

Senior partner Don Clarke said: “We are extremely proud that we now have more than 100 people in our credit hire department who are passionate about delivering an end to end offering based on a holistic approach which has been formed in strategic partnership with our clients. We believe that, in terms of volume credit hire claims, this delivers a unique solution and market leading results.”

Credit hire partner John Gibson added: “The teams within credit hire have responded to every challenge put before them with fantastic commitment and effort. Working in a growing area often presents hurdles that we must work through together, and this team does that more than any other I’ve been involved with. Our service to insurer clients is only as good as the people who provide it, and the feedback we receive on a regular basis reflects the amazing work they do.”
