Winston Solicitors welcomed the opportunity to work with Cardinal Heenan High School, in Leeds 6, during a project involving imagination, creativity and business flair.

A ‘Dragon’s Den’ style forum was set up with the Year 10’s working on their projects in five teams of 16. Each team had two hours come up with a business idea with a prototype, work out costings and prepare their presentation. Spokespersons for each team presented their idea to a panel of judges who included Miles Mount from LEAP, Christine Marsden from Education Leeds and from Winston Solicitors Jonathan Winston and Francis O’Neill.

Having listened to all the business ideas the panel then chose the most worthy winner.

“I was looking for a team that presented an interesting plan, but I also wanted to see enthusiasm and belief in themselves.” said Jonathan Winston. “It was great fun and hopefully the teams were able to work on a project that motivated them and enabled them to be work as part of a team.”

Jonathan and Francis from Winston Solicitors then presented personal calculators to each member of the winning team.

Client feedback

The conveyancing team, led by Samantha Robertson-Strong have been excellent in guiding us through both the sale and purchase of our houses. Always communicative and happy to explain aspects of the process. Highly recommend.

Amanda and the entire Winston Solicitors team were exceptional from start-to-finish. As our 'point person' on my father's personal injury case (and not being in any way legally minded ourselves), Amanda guided us effortlessly through the requirements, evidence & documentation needed along the way, and timelines with different possible outcomes (never overstated, just refresgingly honest). My dad (at the time 88 but by settlement approaching 90) was kept in the loop at all times, able to make decisions for himself due to the professionalism and care of Amanda.Would highly recommend Amanda and the Winston team - really impressed.

Olivia Cooke and her team provided an excellent service throughout our property sale. The team were efficient, clear, and kept us well informed at every stage. The conveyancing process was handled smoothly and professionally. Highly recommended Winston Solicitors. We were particularly impressed with our conveyancing assistant, Amanda Lester, who kept us updated and made the process a great experience!

I just dealt with Leasa in the recent purchase of my first home. Can not recommend her. Fast, efficient and has an eye on everything. Managed to get me from offer accepted to moving in less than 11 weeks.

The whole process of sorting out my wife's estate and a lasting power of atorney was made a relatively easy to understand process because the team we dealt with spoke to us in an easy to understand language. They also acted quickly at every stage as well as always keeping us updated if there were any delays.
