Associate promotions Next month will see eight people promoted to associates. Mayo Wynne Baxter is delighted to announce that the following people were successful with their application: Nick Garrish, Caroline Godfrey, Gemma Jones, Marika Monaghan, Darren Stone, Zoe Summers, Emma Van Bunnens and Nick Walsh. Chief executive Chris Randall said: “All promotions will be effective as from April 1 and I am sure you will wish to send them your congratulations.” Donate a cake Peppermint At Mayo Wynne Baxter we’re lucky enough to be treated to cakes when we hit target. However, this time around a unanimous decision was reached to donate them to Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice. The arrival of the cakes coincided with a visit from Brighton & Hove Albion footballers and they were lucky enough to enjoy a sweet treat ordered from Piglets Pantry along with the children, staff and volunteers. We are pleased to announce that (after a lengthy and thorough process) we have selected multi-award winning platform, Peppermint, to consolidate MWB’s software applications. Peppermint is a significant investment in the firm’s growth strategy and will be rolled out to our 200 staff across the six offices we have in Sussex. As a firm we are acutely aware of the importance technology will play in our continued success. Peppermint will enable us to be far more agile in managing change, increasing operational efficiency and driving a clientcentric approach to all the firm’s activities. Practice director, Sue Gadd, said: “By implementing Peppermint’s single legal software platform we can transform the role of technology from being a tool that supports the firm’s operation into a strategic weapon that will accelerate our competitive advantage and improve the bottom line.” L Y R E G O N I T Y I G Y A C H E D N G A N B L O S R U E D U E T O L C S L L M H A B N I A M A T I T S U S P S T T O O N W A R A E I E M B R D E E S C O A U K A O O N E A S L R H E C T I L S D E N M E M E S E E S D X R D Y A M C I A L Answers to crossword 5
