Two dedicated and long-serving employees at a local law firm have been promoted to executive positions.
Katie Ball, who works in the commercial litigation team, and Debbie Butterfield, from the family team, have both become executive secretaries at Birkett Long’s Chelmsford office.
Katie, who joined Birkett Long after 11 years working in the London office of law firm WGM, said: “I joined Birkett Long nine years ago, and being promoted to executive feels very rewarding.
“I really enjoy my work helping clients, dealing with notary enquiries and putting together documents, and I work with a great team of people.”
Debbie Butterfield, from Chelmsford, who has also worked for Birkett Long for nine years, said: “My work with the family team is really varied and every day is different. I enjoy having a lot of contact with clients, and working with a great team in Chelmsford. Being promoted is reward for the work I do as part of that team.”
Debbie studied for the Private Secretary’s Certificate at Southend College and has also worked for a law firm in London.
