In celebration of International Women's Day 2017 we asked our female strong workforce about their own celebrations.

The questions that got everyone's mind working were: what is your (or one of your) greatest achievements and, looking to the future - what is your ambition?

Looking through everyone's answers proves what a diverse and strong group of women we have in our Winston Solicitors team. We feel it is important to recognise and celebrate achievements. Travel, careers and family seemed to be common themes.

Anna: Greatest achievement - getting an A in a level maths. I failed the mock and my teacher told me I was going to fail the actual exam. I remember thinking in that moment I'm either going to fail or I can show her.....I chose the latter. Ambition - I'm walking 1000 miles throughout this year to raise money for SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) - finishing that at the moment feels ambitious!!!

Amanda: I worked abroad for a short period of time and I'd like learn to speak Hebrew better.

Katrina: Becoming a partner . . . and I'd like to retire!

Anon: Bringing up two children and having four beautiful grandchildren. To live long enough to be a great grandma!

Leonie: Conquering a fear of dogs and I'd like to learn to play the drums.

Sam: I'm proud of getting a promotion, and learning to love peas. I'd like to stop smoking.

Camilla: Directing my first play in February 2014 which was translated from German by my close friend and learning to drive.

Elissa: Retraining in a new career to become a family mediator. I'd like to learn Italian.

Lakhvinder: I have completed my business admin apprenticeship and passed my driving test. I would like to learn how to decorate cakes.

Kate: Becoming a mother and I'd like to learn to dance (Strictly here I come . . .)

Emma: Getting married and I'd like to learn reflexology one day.

Client feedback

Fantastic service - super efficient, no nonsense, quick and communicative. I own and run a Leeds-based Estate Agency and we've tried and tested many many conveyancing solicitors and I can honestly say, Winstons (Samantha and team in particular) are amongst the best! Thanks so much for your help with my recent property sale!

I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors! I was referred by my cousin who also had a fantastic experience. I can’t thank Samantha and Joe enough for their services from day one. They made the whole house buying process feel clear and much less daunting, which I particularly appreciated buying on my own for the first time. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that I completed on the day I had hoped. The attention to detail in the enquiries was particularly appreciated. Thank you!

Was assisted by Samira Cakali cannot fault her advice one bit. Knew exactly what steps to take to ensure a quick, clean and lucrative exit. I would recommend Winstons Solicitors to anyone seeking advice or action regarding employment law.

Winston’s were easy to engage and provided clear and transparent information on the process and upfront costs. Once engaged they were responsive and simple to work with. In particular Sidraa was excellent to work with, she was quick to respond and helpful. I was very appreciative of the efficiency and pace with which we progressed.

I found Winstons to be a highly professional, efficient and compassionate firm of solicitors. The original estimate of fees for dealing with a complex probate matter including the sale of a property and dealing with inheritance tax proved to be very close to the final amount charged. At all stages throughout the process I was kept well informed of progress and was consulted whenever necessary. All correspondence was polite and pertinent, and my wishes were acted upon promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winstons to others and would readily use their services myself in the future should the need arise.
