Peter joins from Bond Pearce where he spent six years as Finance Director, having previously worked for Spandex PLC, where he was responsible for the finance functions in the UK, Europe and North America, and Deloittes in Bristol.
Ray has both public and private sector experience and also moves to Foot Anstey from Bond Pearce, where he spent four years as Business Development Director, having previously fulfilled a number of senior marketing and business development roles at national law firm Eversheds.
Jane Lister, Managing Partner said: "Both these appointments strengthen the business expertise we have within Foot Anstey and I am sure that both Peter and Ray will make a major contribution to the running of the firm, enabling partners and lawyers to focus on delivering effective services to our clients.”
“Foot Anstey has a clear vision for future development and I look forward to ensuring that we invest shrewdly, continuing to develop the appropriate financial and IT systems to support the firm’s ambitious growth plans,” said Peter.
