Dave Newick, Managing Director of Arken.legal, said:

“COVID-19 – understandably – has put the Wills & Probate industry under unprecedented demand. The world’s mortality has been challenged and a natural response to this, is to protect loved ones. With social distancing in place, many were – and are fulfilling this response by organising their Wills and associated documents. Delivering these services during a time of pandemic is a response from our industry that requires professionalism, innovation, courage and patience. The British Wills and Probate Awards 2020 is the platform to showcase members of our industry who have done just this. We look forward to coming together to recognise these achievements. We wish all of those shortlisted the best of luck.”

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the glitzy awards bash will be taking place online ensuring that all attendees remain safe during these uncertain times.

Karen Babington added:

“Safety is our number one priority, but we also want to celebrate all of the fantastic achievements professionals across the sector have accomplished, even when the world has been a little different than normal.”

Everyone at Today’s Wills and Probate wishes those who have been shortlisted the best of luck.
