Simpson Millar invests in its people with appointment of new Director of HR

National law firm Simpson Millar has taken the next step in its ambitious £50m growth strategy with the appointment of a new Director of HR.

Helen Sutton will be taking on the brand new role to support the firm’s expanding workforce in Manchester as part of its ongoing commitment to investment in its people.

Joining the firm from Northgate Plc and with past roles at Johnston Press, Hallmark Cards and BAE Systems Helen brings 15 years of HR experience to Simpson Millar, with particular expertise in leading successful organisational change programmes such as employee engagement and organisational effectiveness.

Her new role seeks to support the firm’s growth on the back of its two recent acquisitions of Liverpool-based law firm EAD and North-West based firm, JWK, and will look to revamp and modernise the firm’s ways of working to innovate its legal practices.

Speaking on the new appointment, Greg Cox, CEO of Simpson Millar said: “We are delighted to appoint Helen as Director of HR. Her role will provide valuable support for our growing teams across the UK, and will help us develop new innovative ways to modernise our legal services, and ways of working to benefit employees and clients alike.

“Her appointment comes at an exciting time in Simpson Millar’s growth plans, following acquisitions and appointments to ensure that we are best placed to meet the growing and ever changing needs of our clients.

“Helen brings a wealth of experience to the table and I am sure her expertise will enable the firm to become even more innovative to push our growth plans forward.”

Commenting on her new role, Helen said: “I’m extremely excited about working at Simpson Millar to help deliver the ambitious growth plans, and to ensure that all employees feel supported, informed and engaged as we move towards achieving the Simpson Millar vision.

“I am looking forward to creating and delivering a strong people plan that will make the company a great place to work for everyone.”
