Happy birthday to Martin Astle!

All at Astle Paterson wish Martin Astle the warmest regards on his birthday celebrations.

Admitted as a Solicitor in 1963, Martin became part of Astle Paterson (in its previous guise as Bakewells) in 1970.   Establishing the firm in Burton upon Trent in 1983 (the same year he qualified as a Notary Public), Martin has overseen the expansion of the business, the two moves of offices and a merger in 2012 with another local legal firm, OMW Solicitors.

A stalwart of the legal scene in Burton upon Trent, Derby and Staffordshire and a true Burtonian, Martin’s hard work ethic shows no sign of abating – he continues to work on high value complicated financial matters on divorce well into the evening on weekdays and attends the office each Sunday to carry out further work.

Congratulations to Martin and here’s to many more years at Astle Paterson to come!
