Why are the British Wills and Probate Awards so special?

Don’t take it from us… here is some sentiment from previous winners at the Awards.

Several-time winner Farewill said:

“It’s been an honour to be part of the British Wills and Probate Awards. When Farewill was a newcomer to the industry, being an award winner was a fantastic way to benchmark our services. And now it’s a signal to our customers that we’re consistently leading the category.”

Morecambe Bay Wills and Estates said:

“The Awards have been amazing for our small business. Our wins have led to press coverage. That’s led to new enquiries, and lots of new customers! It makes us stand out in a crowded market, and often clients say, ‘I saw you in the paper!’.

But it’s also fabulous for the team! It’s wonderful to win an award at a national event. We work hard together, and we celebrate together too! 11^th October 23 is already booked in our diary.”

AL-HQ Law & More said:

“We felt very honoured to be shortlisted amongst leading providers in the Wills & Probate industry, then going on to win both our categories of Will-Writing Firm of the South and Community & Charity propelled us to secure media coverage and further continued recognition. We gained a wider audience, access to new networks and could establish ourselves as an award winning legal practice with motivation to share our vision and mission to inspire our clients and those we work with.”

“The Awards were so special to us as we really saw the event as a reward to the team for working so hard through the year,” said Laurelo – winner, 2022, “Probate Provider of the Year – South”.

“We loved the run-down of the event and the inclusive yet prestigious nature of the evening. Plus, we got to network with many industry experts and leaders, which was amazing. The event was one thing, but the win was a massive bonus for us.”

Lawson West Solicitors – highly commended in the “Outstanding Employee Experience” category last year – said:

“It was lovely to meet people from all across the industry at the event – not just fellow lawyers but those working in finance, genealogy, and innovative tech companies – all of whom help make our jobs easier! It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the industry’s successes.”

What makes the event even more special is the opportunity to come away as a winner. Hugh Jones Solicitors – Winner, 2022, “Solicitor Firm of the Year – North”, said it was “wonderful” to have their work recognised by the Judges:

“We are proud to be experts in our field and the award is credit to not only our team’s expertise but also their commitment to client care.”

Title Research – winner 2022 “Probate Research Firm of the Year” – added:

“The British Wills and Probate Awards 2022 was a fantastic event – both on and offline. It was great to attend in person and network with so many leading professionals within the industry. We also appreciated the live stream of the ceremony so our entire team could watch and join in with the celebrations.”
