France+Associates (F+A), a Huddersfield firm specialising in bespoke accessible homes, has announced two senior promotions.
Amy Hines has been promoted to director and Matthew Carter to senior architectural technologist.
Jonathan France, founder of F+A, said: “These promotions reflect the hard work, skill and care Amy and Matt have consistently displayed over a number of years.
“It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our 10th anniversary. Time flies but it’s vital to recognise and reward the exceptional contributions of our team members who have been integral to our success.”
Amy and Matt’s promotions come at a pivotal moment in the company’s history. Over the past decade, F+A has grown from a small firm into a trusted leader in the Personal Injury, Medical Negligence and Court of Protection sectors, supporting over 50 law firms nationwide.
This growth has been fuelled by a dedicated team offering design, contract administration, property finding and legal expert services, and the firm has celebrated a number of industry award wins.
In the past year alone, F+A has welcomed seven new team members, reflecting its ongoing expansion and commitment to providing unparalleled service to its clients.
