Fletchers Group, one of the UK’s leading personal injury and clinical negligence law firms, has appointed Michelle Beat as Director of Business Development.
Michelle joins Fletchers with over 25 years of experience in legal sector marketing and business development, most recently as Business Development Director at Irwin Mitchell. She has a proven track record of delivering client-focused growth strategies and building high-performing teams.
In her new role, Michelle will be instrumental in leading Fletchers’ continued expansion – driving marketing strategy, establishing new partnerships, and strengthening the company’s position as a market leader in serious injury and clinical negligence law.
Her appointment comes at a time of significant growth for Fletchers, which has its main office on Hoghton Street in Southport town centre and is pursuing an ambitious business strategy through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, ongoing investment in its people, and the expansion of its UK network of offices.
Fletchers Group Chief Legal Officer Adrian Denson said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Michelle to the team to support us through the next phase of growth.
“Attracting someone of Michelle’s calibre underlines how far Fletchers has come over the past few years, and the strength of our reputation in the sector, which has enabled us to attract a raft of high performing individuals.
“Michelle’s expertise in delivering impactful, sustainable business strategies and her deep understanding of client needs will be invaluable in helping us reach new milestones and deliver even greater value to those we represent.”
During her time at Irwin Mitchell, Michelle led numerous successful initiatives to drive market growth, strengthen client relationships, and build strategic partnerships – contributing to significant revenue growth across a range of practice areas.
Commenting on her new role, Michelle Beat said:
“I’m thrilled to join Fletchers, a business with such a strong reputation for legal excellence and client advocacy and I’m proud to join a team so deeply committed to helping clients rebuild their lives after serious life-changing injuries.
“I look forward to working closely with Adey and the wider leadership team to build on Fletchers’ success, and work towards their goal of ensuring that clients have the best possible life after injury. I am looking forward to collaborating with the team to strengthen our relationships within the legal and medical communities and expand our portfolio of partnerships with charities and other key organisations.”
Fletchers continues to invest in talent and innovation to meet the evolving needs of clients affected by serious injury. Earlier this year, the company acquired North West personal injury firm Scott Rees, and recently announced the launch of a new office in Newcastle to better serve clients and partners in the North East.
