Ilfracombe Office - Closure

You may be aware that we closed our Ilfracombe Office at the start of the Coronavirus outbreak.  We had furloughed some of our staff and also temporarily moved some staff to other offices.  However, we have reluctantly, and after much thought, decided to permanently close our Ilfracombe Office (officially from 31 August 2020).

You may have dealt with our partners and staff at the office over many years, and in particular Pennie Maunder and Nigel Treasaden.  Pennie has decided not to return to work following a period of furlough leave and the closure of the Ilfracombe office. You may be aware that Pennie Maunder has worked for us for over 25 years, since our merger, and prior to that with Rowe Watts and Wood.  She has been a great ambassador for this firm throughout that time and we wish her all the very best for the future.

Nigel will continue to deal with family work and general litigation matters from our Barnstaple Office, covering in particular Ilfracombe and Braunton clients.

Stuart Tansley and Donna Randall, who you may previously have trusted to look after your legal matters, are to remain based in our Braunton Office on a full time basis, where they can continue to look after your legal needs.  You can contact either Michael Chittock for residential matters (01271 818378), Stuart Tansley for commercial property or business matters (01271 340893) and Donna Randall for Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Probate matters (01271 818370).

We hope that we can continue to provide assistance to our Ilfracombe clients with their legal affairs in the future and feel confident that we can provide them with the same level of service they have come to expect.

If you have Wills or deeds stored at our Ilfracombe office, we will continue to hold these free of charge on your behalf.

If you have any concerns or queries in relation to the above, or indeed wish to speak with any of our other experienced lawyers please call 01271 342271.
