The Conveyancing Association (CA) has announced the appointment of two new Directors to its Board, further reinforcing its commitment to industry leadership and strategic development.
Rhodri Howells, Head of Legal Practice at Sort Legal, and Samantha Strong, Head of Conveyancing and Head of Legal Practice at Eden Conveyancing, have both joined the CA Board following their appointment at the Association’s recent Annual General Meeting.
Both are practising conveyancers with significant leadership experience across the legal and property sectors.
Howells, who oversees four Sort Legal offices nationwide, brings a sharp focus on advocacy and the professional recognition of conveyancers.
CONVEYANCING CHALLENGE
He says: “I am acutely aware of the challenges conveyancers face every day and saw the opportunity to join the Board of the CA as an opportunity to have a platform to advocate for the membership.
“I feel passionately that the services conveyancers supply are hugely undervalued and we all have a lot of work to do to improve the perception of the important work that we do. Many of us talk a lot about the problems, but I want to have a voice in the solution.”
TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION
Strong, who leads legal operations at Eden Conveyancing, will focus on championing innovation and technological evolution within the profession.
She says: “It is an honour to join the CA Board, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of the profession.
“Technology and digitisation will be key drivers of change in the coming years and I see my position on the Board as an opportunity to ensure conveyancers’ needs are at the forefront of this transformation.
“My aim is to help enhance the reputation and value of conveyancers by championing innovative solutions that improve not just client experiences but conveyancer experiences too.”
INFLUENCE AND IMPACT
Nicky Heathcote, Non-Executive Chair of The Conveyancing Association, adds: “Their appointments reflect the high calibre of professionals we are fortunate to attract and the importance we place on maintaining a strong, experienced leadership team to help guide the Association’s direction.
“I look forward to working with them both as we continue to expand the CA’s influence and impact.”
