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.

Exceptional professionalism displayed by Sidraa Razaq, whom assisted us in the purchase of a property. She was very efficient and explained the process clearly and concisely. She made my experience with Winston Solicitors an absolute joy, I would most highly recommend this company and truly believe Sidraa to be an absolute asset for Winston Solicitors.

Thank You to Sidraa Razaq to handle the purchase of a house I was buying as a gift, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the very beginning she was very professional, approachable, and made what could have been a stressful process feel completely straightforward.She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated at each stage, and dealt with all the paperwork and legalities with efficiency and care. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly gave me real peace of mind throughout.I would highly recommend Sidraa Razaq to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive.

Winston Solicitors handled our recent house purchase and sale and provided an excellent service throughout. Sidraa Razaq, supported by Tom McIlroy, exhibited an outstanding professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness from te moment we first made contact, all of which made what was at times a less than straightforward transaction much easier to navigate. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
