Claire Fenwick, Samuel Phillips Law

Newcastle Law Firm Samuel Phillips Law has appointed Claire Fenwick to the role of group marketing manager to spearhead its growth in the region.

In her new role, she will lead Samuel Phillips Law’s overall marketing strategy and build on the company’s position in the market to help drive strategic growth.

Claire’s appointment comes at a period of rapid change at Samuel Phillips Law. Last Summer, the firm was acquired by lawyer Sufe Miah, Founder and Director of Miah Solicitors in Leeds. Miah also acquired Hathaways The Law Firm which has offices in Gateshead and Low Fell.

Claire’s role will see her leading the strategic marketing for all three firms, managing external and internal communications including advertising, PR, print and online marketing collateral and business development as well as raising the firm’s profiles through events, networking opportunities and sponsorship.

Claire said: “I am looking forward to the challenges my new role will bring and working hard to exceed our goals alongside the fantastically talented teams at all three firms. Although, I will be based at Samuel Phillip’s office on Newcastle’s Grey Street, I will also be spending a significant amount of time in our offices in Gateshead, Low Fell and Leeds”

Sharon Boyd, group chief executive said “We are absolutely delighted to have Claire join us. I have been an avid admirer of Claire over the many years I have known her so to bring her on board at this time is very exciting indeed!
