Meet the Team: Beverley Leeman

Posted onJuly 8, 2022

Beverley Leeman reflects on three decades at Bell Lamb & Joynson.

I’m Bev, and I’m the Operations Manager at Bell Lamb & Joynson. I started working at the firm in November 1988 having just moved over from the United States - and I’ve been here ever since!

Back then, I joined the team as an Audio Typist in our Walton Vale office, transcribing all sorts of recordings onto carbon paper with an old mechanical typewriter. Thankfully times have changed and over three decades later I’m now part of the management team at Bell Lamb & Joynson.

As well as my role as Operations Manager, I’m also responsible for legal aid billing across our criminal law and family solicitor departments - and that really requires a great deal of concentration.

I love every part of my job and the diversity of the role really keeps it interesting. Each day is different, especially now that we are splitting our time between the office and working from home. I love the flexibility of hybrid working as I can concentrate much better in my own surroundings and get more work done.

That being said, I really enjoy coming into the office to catch up with colleagues that I wouldn’t ordinarily see day-to-day in our online meetings. We are a friendly and tight-knit team and it’s a joy to be a part of it!

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family - particularly my two grandsons Ashton and Cohen who are 12 and 8 - they leave me with little time for anything else really!

I could not fault Lily's advice and service during the process of buying a house. As a first time buyer, I had loads of questions, and Lily always got back to me promptly with clear explanations and responses. I also needed to complete within a certain timeframe, and they ensured that this happened and we were not held up at all. I'll definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Holly dealt with my recent case she was very approachable kind and professional kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis she went above and beyond to help me in what was a difficult time for me personally. I would highly recommend Holly and would definitely use her again if required.
Stephen
We had a great experience with Lily and Olivia and Bell Lamb and Joynson. It only took 2 months to complete on our house and despite me being a nervous wreck Lily was patient throughout the entire process.
Daniel
Brilliant work from Laura and her team always gets back to you straight away. Highly recommended.
Chris

Sam
What can I say about Daren Jones, he was so understanding and helpful throughout my case from the start of my case and to the hearing was always on hand when I needed advice. Would definitely recommend Bell, Lamb & Joynson Solicitors.
