When out of the office:
Outside of the office I have undertaken some freelance work with Thomson Reuters writing content for Practical Law’s Private Client section. I also play hockey for Maidstone HC, putting in many hours in on the training ground during the week and representing the 1st XI at the weekends. Out of the season I try to keep fit by running and cycling and I also enjoy travelling.

Thank you for the prompt and professional way you handled this matter. I will have no hesitation in using your services again should the need arise, or recommending your firm to family and friends.
