Miss Roebuck comments;

“I have known the Partners and many of the staff at Ashton Morton Slack for a long time and have always found them friendly, well organised and professional and therefore had a keen interest in working for the firm.”

Stephen Williams, Head of Private Client commented;

“Rachel is a welcome addition to our Family and Childcare team, she has extensive experience in this field and it is wonderful that Ashton Morton Slack now have an established childcare team to complement the work of Ann and the Matrimonial Team allowing us to offer a range of services to suit all our clients needs.”
