Congratulations to Fran Greenhalgh who celebrates 18 years at Garratts.
Fran started as an assistant solicitor in the family department in September 2006. In recognition of her hard work and commitment to the firm Fran was invited to be an associate solicitor.
Fran’s background was in Public Law proceedings and Fran was given the opportunity to develop the care department which at that time did not exist within the firm.
Fran has worked tirelessly over the years to build the department up to become a great success. It is now one of the largest departments within the firm. The team works with families from across the greater Manchester area from our offices in Oldham, Ashton, Stalybridge, Newton Heath, Radcliffe and Worsley.
Fran became a partner in the firm in 2011. Fran is extremely proud of her department as it involves working with families to safeguard children and wherever possible keeping families together. Fran is a robust advocate who assists families throughout the whole pre-proceedings and court process, which gives her an enormous amount of job satisfaction.
In addition, Fran has also taken on the role of COFA, ensuring that the firm complies with any and all obligations imposed under the accounts rules.
Fran’s meteoric rise to the top of her career is an excellent example of how Garratts are committed to developing people and encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Outside of work Fran loves spending time with her grandchildren and her family and enjoying travelling on foreign holidays with her friends.
