Paul said: “I aim to unearth and deliver new operations for Novus to help the business grow and expand organically, to develop wider business service provisions and establish the Novus brand in the marketplace.”

Langleys Solicitors has added to its corporate commercial team with the appointment of Nathan Bilton, a sports enthusiast who joins the York based firm following a period living and working in New Zealand.

Nathan’s experience spans both corporate and commercial, including Intellectual Property and banking.
