Richard Howard, a specialist in wills, heads up the private client department at Fidler & Pepper and is also a director at the company, was at the awards, which were held at the Belfry Hotel and Resort in Birmingham and hosted by the journalist and television presenter Jennie Bond.

Mr Howard said: “It was a great event which was full of the top people in the Wills and Probate industry and Jennie Bond was a great host.

“I was over the moon when we were announced as the winner. To be able to say that we are the best in the business when it comes to community involvement is very special and it made us all very proud.”

Mr Howard added that Fidler & Pepper’s ethos is about being involved in the community, whether it’s hosting charity events, helping schoolchildren to understand the word of work, or sharing knowledge with residents groups.

Mr Howard added: “We work very hard to achieve great things and make a difference which we believe also helps to make us an employer of choice in our local community.”

Robert Sanderson, Managing Director of the Practical Vision Network which publishes Today’s Wills and Probate, said: “If we thought the standard of submissions was high in our first year, our second year has surpassed our expectations. It has been a fascinating insight into the innovations and skills that are being delivered day in, day out in a complex area of law.

“I want to congratulate the winners, but also applaud the efforts of everyone in the room. You are all winners in our eyes.”
