Aylesbury: Parrott & Coales appoints new managing partner

Law firm Parrott & Coales has appointed Sarah Plumridge as managing partner to continue driving the firm forward.  

Plumridge will take over from John Leggett who will retire at the end of April after being managing partner for 19 years.

Within two years of joining the firm in 2000, Plumridge was made a partner and has almost 20 years' experience as a commercial and residential property solicitor. She will be following in the footsteps of other great leaders at Parrott & Coales including Leggett and Margaret Dickens who in 1949 became one of the first female solicitors in the UK and the firm's first-ever female managing partner in 1978.

She will also bring her skills in business development and use these talents to strengthen Parrott & Coales' position in the commercial and personal legal services market.

"We chose Sarah for this role because of her many strong leadership qualities, including her business acumen and entrepreneurial flair," said Leggett. "She has the vision and experience to take the firm to new levels and to build on its continual success."

On her appointment, Plumridge commented: "We pride ourselves in offering high-quality, great-value service that remains in-line with the ever-changing needs of our clients. But we can't do this without the expertise of our team.  I'm looking forward to building on the talent we already have and in creating the finest leaders to help deliver a vision and strategy that will grow the firm further."
