BCL Legal Grows Yorkshire & North East Team with New Appointments

BCL Legal - one of the leading legal recruitment consultancies outside London which offices in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Reading - is continuing its expansion drive with the appointment of two new members of staff.

Angharad Jones has joined the business as a recruitment consultant. She will be working across the private practice sector in Yorkshire and the North East focussing on the core disciplines of commercial property & planning, property litigation, construction, commercial litigation, banking litigation, employment & pensions, insolvency, private client, family, agricultural and immigration. Angharad worked in private practice for six years as a solicitor before making the transition into legal recruitment earlier this year.

The second new member of the team is Gemma Crossley who again joins as a consultant. Gemma’s role will see her specialising in the recruitment of paralegals and legal executives - including costs draftspeople, accredited representatives, claims handlers and law graduates in and around Yorkshire. Gemma began her career at a law firm and she has also gained varied commercial experience after working for a number of high profile public and private sector organisations.

Angharad commented; ‘My new role at BCL Legal is a fantastic opportunity and I’m really excited to be joining the firm and making my mark.’

Catherine Hughes, head of BCL Legal’s Yorkshire/ North East Division, commented; ‘The Yorkshire and North East market is really exciting at the moment with some key growth areas. So, our aim is to further solidify our presence in the region over the coming 12 months. We’ve got great relationships with our clients and candidates and I know both Angharad and Gemma will be great additions to the team.’
