This week’s North East appointments

Property firm Sanderson Weatherall has continued to grow its Newcastle office following the appointment of its sixth new chartered surveyor since the start of the year.

Newcastle-based TT Law has appointed Kevin Turnbull to its team.

Kevin Turnbull said: “I enjoyed my years at Muckle and I am very proud of my contribution to its litigation team but I felt it was the right time for me to take on a new challenge.

“I am very pleased to be working alongside Neville again. I am joining at a time when there is considerable demand for our services both in the North East and further afield, and I am excited about the future for TT Law.”

Founder Takiar said: “I have known and worked with Kevin for many years. He is a highly respected name in the litigation field and I am delighted to welcome someone of his standing and reputation on board.”
