THERE will be a new face at the desk of a Pershore law firm from now on as receptionist Jenny Clarke has decided to retire after 20 years service.

Mrs Clarke began working for the practice back in 1994, when it was known as Meredith Thomas and continued when Attwoods took over in 2012.

"Jenny has been a great member of the team and a pleasure to work with," said practice manager Lucy Watkins. "She will be sadly missed by all at Attwoods. We wish her all the best in her retirement.”

The firm held a farewell party for Mrs Clarke, who lives in Pershore with her husband John, at the town's Angel Hotel.
