North West law firm Napthens has revealed promotions within its Rural, Real Estate and Employment teams.

Yasmin Blamire is taking on the role of Senior Associate Solicitor in the Real Estate team at the company's Kendal office.

Melissa Haigh has also been promoted to Senior Associate Solicitor within the Kendal Rural team.

Three employees from the Blackburn offices have also achieved promotions.

The news arrives amidst a surge of growth for Napthens Group, having recently launched AfterAthena and AfterHours, two new brands this year.

Nicola Mason, head of people and operations at Napthens Group, said: “Developing and rewarding talented people is part of the DNA at Napthens, which is clearly demonstrated in these five promotions.

“All five thoroughly deserve this recognition as they continually deliver on our values and promises to clients.

“They all epitomise what it means to be an employee of Napthens, helping create a positive work environment for everyone they work with. They should all be very proud of themselves.

“I look forward to seeing their continued success and all that they can achieve within their careers as part of the wider Napthens family.”
