More than 550 leading lawyers and their guests, joined BBC Broadcaster Mishal Husain at the black tie dinner and presentation ceremony at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London.

Rick, who has only recently completed his part-time Chartered Institute of Marketing Professional Certificate, was presented with the Marketing & Business Development award and in doing so; his employers became the first Law Firm in Cheshire to win an Excellence Award, and are only the 3rd firm in the North West to do so.

The judges were impressed by Jackson Barrett & Gass' commitment to developing an approach to supporting house sales including a Home Information Pack of a high standard at a low price, which has succeeded in retaining old clients, attracting new ones and developing profitable relationships with local estate agents.

The judges described Rick‟s entry as exhibiting the true art of executing a well-planned and well-researched strategy to build a service which succeeded in marking them apart from their competitors.

Robert Heslett, Law Society President said, "The standard of entries received for the third Annual Excellence Awards has been superb and reflects the high level of innovation that exists across the legal profession. The process of selecting the shortlist was extensive due to the vast number of entries this year.

These winners have made the promotion of best practice an integral part of their work. These awards are part of the Law Society's commitment to promoting excellence in legal services."

Rick Barrow, Marketing Manager, said, We are extremely honoured to have won the award, which ranks us with some of the biggest firms in the country. We have worked extremely hard to make Home Information Packs (HIPs) a positive part of the conveyancing process to ultimately assist our most important stakeholders, our clients.

I am also extremely grateful to my employers for investing in my course which has undoubtedly assisted me with this entry, as well as in everyday work.

Mandy Orton, Chartered Institute of Marketing Tutor at Macclesfield College, said, „I am delighted that Rick has been able to make good use of his studies to help him and his employers win this prestigious award. I am pleased that Rick has decided to enrol on the CIM Professional Diploma course and look forward to welcoming him back to Macclesfield College in September.‟
