Colleagues at United Legal Assistance in Southport have enjoyed celebrating the firm’s 10th birthday. 

The fast-growing claims management company moved into its impressive new HQ in the former Southport Crown Post Office Building, on Lord Street in Southport town centre last year after doubling in size.

People working at the firm have now enjoyed a series of events to mark its 10th birthday, including a night out at the New China City restaurant in Southport where nearly 60 people gathered for a memorable night out.

The business was founded by brother Adam Hughes and Gavin Hughes in Southport in 2014.

United Legal Assistance Director Adam Hughes said:  

“When Gavin and I started ULA so long ago we hadn’t expected the business would expand as much as it has, which is a huge source of pride for all those involved.

“We are proud of our roots here in Southport and were delighted to go out and mark the anniversary in a superb local restaurant.

“With a few drinks, great food from New China City and some dodgy karaoke, the party went on well into the evening.

“The 10th birthday celebrations were a great way for the staff to come together out of work and raise a toast to their shared success.

“ULA would be nothing without our staff and this party was in recognition of that.

“With the ebb and flow of a fast-growing business sometimes it’s really important to get together away from the confines of work and have that time and celebration when successes are achieved.”

“All of this has once again renewed our enthusiasm for the business and to go out and make the next 10 years even more successful for us and all of the staff at ULA.”

United Legal Assistance is recognised as a business which truly invests in its colleagues.

The firm is currently recruiting for even more people to join its growing team, which now numbers over 60 staff.

United Legal Assistance Operations Manager John Young said:

“We really do what we can for current and future staff at ULA, which is nothing less than they deserve.

“Quarterly bonuses, several annual parties, private healthcare, paid-for professional qualifications, all on top of free coffee and breakfast on the business on a Friday.

“Our view is that a happy team is able to give the best possible service.

“Southport as a town is a great place to live and work and helping people find good employment here is a big win for us.

“We continue to recruit and expand and are looking for more claims handlers to join the team through summer and autumn this year.”
