Valued team member Rob retires after 33 years working at Oswestry law firm offices

One of Oswestry’s longest standing law firms is to lose one of its longest standing and most valued employees when he retires later this month.

Valued team member Rob retires after 33 years working at Oswestry law firm offices

Litigation Executive, Rob Jones, has been a key member of the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence team at GHP Legal since the firm, formerly known as Gwilym Hughes & Partners, merged with Brown & Lloyd in 2000.

After doing a variety of jobs, including being a part-time lecturer at Oswestry College and working for a spell with Shropshire Probation Service, Rob joined Brown & Lloyd in June 1991.

Since then, as senior clerk in the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence team, he has provided caseload support to the solicitors and been involved in literally hundreds of personal injury compensation claims during his 33 years in the role.

Working on cases from the outset right through to court, Rob has become well respected and liked by the medical professionals and barristers he has come into contact with, as well as clients.

Known for his empathetic approach and keenness to assist the team in progressing cases to achieve the best possible outcome with the least pain to the client, he has built excellent relationships with many people in the town and wider surrounds.

Originally from Llanymynech, Rob is a lifelong supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and a former long-serving member of Round Table and St Oswalds Lodge. He is also a keen gardener who enjoys outdoor pursuits in his spare time, so it’s doubtful he will be putting his feet up very much on retirement.

Wishing Rob well on his retirement, John Hulme, a Partner of GHP Legal and head of Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence at the firm’s Oswestry office, said:

“Rob has been a highly valued member of the team, with clients and colleagues alike finding him helpful, reliable and relatable. We will all miss his positive attitude and wonderful sense of humour enormously, but we wish him a well-earned, long, happy and fulfilled retirement.”
