Halifax business performance developer wins contract with commercial law firm Schofield Sweeney

Halifax-based Aspire Development will now be working in partnership with Schofield Sweeney, a commercial law firm based in West Yorkshire, to design and deliver a tailored leadership skills programme for the firm’s Partners and Associates.

Trevor Wheatley, Aspire’s managing director, said: “Following the recent merger between Schofield Sweeney and Armitage Sykes, we are looking forward to developing a programme that will enhance the leadership capability of this successful and growing business.”

“Aspire is a registered training provider of the LEP and Schofield Sweeney were successful in their application of a grant for up to 50% of the cost of this leadership programme”.

Graham Sweeney, operations director at Schofield Sweeney, commented: “Investing in our people is an essential part of developing and growing the firm. We’re looking forward to working in partnership with Aspire Development who are supporting us with our people development plans”.
