Carolyn joins the drive to make up for lost learning during the COVID-19 crisis

Our wonderful office manager Carolyn Boulding has moved on after 7 years at Julie West Solicitors.

Carolyn studied Music at Durham University (2:1) then went to work as a studio manager and regional operations manager (Asia-Pacific) for the BBC World Service.

Taking a break to bring up her two sons, Carolyn later retrained as a primary school teacher and worked at The Dawnay School for 10 years.

Carolyn's connection with Julie West Solicitors began when Julie did the conveyancing work for Carolyn's house purchase.  Years later, when Carolyn was looking for a change of career, she joined as our office manager. Carolyn looked after our accounts, HR, events, professional indemnity insurance, accreditations, lender panel membership, library, monitored client satisfaction and generally kept the office running smoothly.

Carolyn plans to tutor children who have lost out on learning during the COVID-19 crisis, finish the complete redecoration of her house and renovation of her garden and also, of course, continue singing with her local choirs.

Carolyn has done a sterling job training up her protégé Lyn Robinson so we are in safe hands for the future. Thank you for everything Carolyn. We wish you the very best of luck with your future endeavours!

Thank you very much for your efforts [Carolyn and Lyn], it was a pleasure working with you
