Managing Partner, Jon Cartwright said: “We are so pleased to welcome these talented people to our team of partners at Hazlewoods. Andy and Richard have worked hard with us for many years, and their promotion is hugely deserved. Lucie and James also bring us a wealth of experience in their chosen areas.
