Andrew Arnold has been appointed as a partner with Pellys LLP from 01 February. 

This means that they have become the first local firm to adopt the new “Legal Disciplinary Partnership” structure, set out by the Law Society, which allows solicitors firms to admit fellows of the Institute of Legal Executives as partners. 

Stephen Roche, Managing Partner said “Andrew joined the firm in May 2005, shortly after we opened our second office in Saffron Walden where he has been based ever since.  He has led and managed the team very successfully since then and we have seen the business go from strength to strength under his leadership.” 

Andrew says “I was very proud to be asked to become a partner with Pellys and I shall continue to work hard in order to promote the business and deliver the first class service that our clients expect and deserve.” Andrew is a very well known figure in and around Saffron Walden and an extremely active member of the community and involved in many charitable, sporting and business groups in the town.

He is passionate about promoting sport and is Chairman of the Saffron Walden Cricket Club and involved in the organisation at the Saffron Walden Rugby Club.  He is a member of 41 Club, having been a round tabler for 15 years – (chairman twice and carnival chairman twice). 

Music is also very much part of Andrew’s life and he is a member of local band “The Wrinklies”.

Few accolades carry greater weight than the acclaim of one's professional peers, so Royston Simpson Creative were delighted to be nominated No 2 in Business Weekly's top ten Image Makers in the East of England.

In its New Year's Honours edition the leading business publication singled out the agency as being "brilliant in the conception stakes: led by Richard Taylor, it brings a special extra ingredient to the table with stunning  designs and catchy campaigns, and its communications skills are exemplary"

Richard Taylor adds "It's great to receive such praise, but the ultimate measure of our success is the results our creative work achieves for our clients, and that is best demonstrated in action. We welcome the opportunity to be put to the test".

Love is in the air as thousands of passengers prepare to jet away from Stansted on romantic breaks this valentine weekend.

Verona, Venice and Rome are just some of the short-haul city treats on the doorstep of Stansted, while the more adventurous can head away on AirAsia X’s low-cost connection to Kuala Lumpur and onto Australia - a really exciting long-haul valentine option.

Photograph show a British Airways 747 being de-iced at Stansted today. Bad weather forced the Gatwick bound jet to divert into Stansted after its long haul flight from Lagos, Nigeria.

Stansted's performance during the recent bad weather has been excellent, with only a minimum period of closure due to a particularly heavy snow fall on Tuesday morning.

Frank McCrorie, General Manager Airside, said:

"We're obviously not through the bad weather at present but it's been a fantastic effort so far to keep the airport open and runway, taxiways, aprons and stands operating near to normal. Much credit has to go the well trained snow teams, and determination of all airport staff."Stansted has, and continues to do, everything in its power to prepare for periods of adverse weather and react as quickly and efficiently to ensure that we maintain business as usual."
