Legal 500, 2024

A huge thank you from the B&Q team and me for all the excellent hard work you have done in getting us over the line. You’ve been super flexible in accommodating urgent and unpredictable demands, always without complaint and have worked long hours on this. I’ve also been hugely impressed at your technical and commercial prowess. It has been great to work with you – you have worked like a seamless extension of the in-house team (that is definitely not always a given).
