Reading-based law firm Boyes Turner has become a corporate supporter of Brake, the road safety charity, as part of its efforts to champion road safety.

“Brake is working to stop the tragedy of road deaths and serious injuries in road crashes,” said Kim Milan, senior partner and head of Boyes Turner’s personal injury team.

“Through our personal injury work we see first-hand the devastating impact of road injuries and deaths. A crash may be over in just seconds, but it can have lifelong repercussions for the people involved and their families.

"That is why it was an easy decision to become Brake’s newest corporate partner and to help them make streets safe and healthy places for all.”

Brake relies heavily on support from organisations, to ensure it can continue its vital work supporting road victims and campaigning for safer roads.

Brake’s corporate partners support the charity’s work and help to raise awareness of the issues involved.

“After 28 years of campaigning for safer roads and supporting road victims, we have big ambitions we hope to deliver this year to make a difference in road safety," said Ross Moorlock, chief operating officer of Brake.

"Our work is made possible by corporate partners like Boyes Turner, who help to fund us and share in our belief that nobody should be killed or seriously injured on UK roads.

"We are delighted to have them by our side, sharing and supporting the work we do.”
