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

Recently I have used the services of Winston Solicitors to deal with my wife's estate and to update my will. In both cases everything was explained in straightforward language and so was easy to understand. Things were dealt with promptly and I was always kept informed of progress. The friendly approach of members of the team made a difficult situation much easier to deal with. My family will certainly seek the services of Winstons when required in the future.

Amazing service from start to finish, Our questions were answered quickly and there were no holds up from our side of the house sale what so ever. Would 100% recommend and use in the future. Special thank you to Samantha & Aishah.

We were really impressed with the service that we received from both Leasa and Julie. The process was efficient, communication was great and we liked the online portal where you could see the progress of the sale/purchase easily. Despite some delays from our buyer’s solicitor, both Leasa and Julie seemed to push this daily for us to complete on time. We would recommend Winston’s to others and will use them in the future if we move again!

They kept us updated throughout, making what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable.Michelle's attention to detail, efficiency, and friendly approach gave us complete confidence every step of the way. No question felt too silly! We would highly recommend their services to anyone, especially first-time buyers. Thank you for helping us buy our first home! Thanks, Michelle / George & Annie :)

Used Leasa Foster for the sale and purchase of my house after being really pleased with her service from a previous purchase. She is very thorough and also very quick to reply whenever I contact her. I have recommended her to many family and friends over the years and everyone has been really pleased with the service. Highly recommend!
