“The next few years will be a very exciting time for Wilkins Kennedy as we make further investments in graduates and training, attracting high calibre professionals from all over the country. My intention is to maintain the growth of Wilkins Kennedy by the continued development of our specialists departments and increasing our presence in key geographical areas.
The practice is now ideally placed to take advantage of any uplift in the economy following favourable trading during the recent recessionary period.”
