New joiners and qualifier congratulations at Stone King

Partner and Head of ER, Craig Vincent, said “It’s great to have new talent and a fresh pair of eyes coming in at such a senior level, no doubt Tyesha will be an enriching presence in the team, and it’s brilliant that she’ll be working from our new Manchester office, supporting our client base in the north west and nationally.”

“Our Real Estate Team remains extremely busy supporting our clients across the various sectors of the firm and we are delighted to welcome Emma to the team,” said Caroline Taylor.

“We know she’ll be a real asset and will help clients within the charity property sector and the pure commercial property area.”

Julie Moktadir, Head of the Immigration Team and with whom Julianna has worked closely over the past five years, said “I am so pleased for Julianna. She has worked tremendously hard, maintaining a high standard of work in her full-time role while studying for her exams. She truly deserves her success.”
