Fidler and Pepper, a law firm that specialises in conveyancing, and wills, probate and trusts, has won a commitment to people development award.

The firm, which has offices in Mansfield and Sutton, took the accolade at East Midlands Chamber (Nottinghamshire) Business Awards.

Matt Slade, a partner at the firm, said: “We place a huge emphasis on people and the workplace. We have to have a place where people want to come and work and do their best and in a great environment.

“That’s because we want the firm to be a success and it’s the right thing to do.

“There were some great businesses at the awards and to find out that we had been recognised for doing what we do was fantastic for the whole firm.”

The awards evening took place at The Belfry, Nottingham, where there were 12 categories. Fidler and Pepper’s Corey Else was a finalist in the apprentice of the year category.

Joanne Godson, head of people and operations, added: “Winning the award was an incredibly proud moment for us.

“We are committed to continuing to improve what we do and so we will celebrate what we have achieved so far, and look at what we can do even better.”
