Latimer Hinks Solicitors, of Darlington, have helped a local woman fulfil her ambition of running the hair salon where she worked for eight years.
Caroline Brown, 30, has now taken over the Get Smart Hair and Beauty in Darlington after purchasing the business and taking on the lease arrangements.
Latimer Hinks completed the sale and lease arrangements, which have helped Brown set up her new business, employing two members of staff.
Brown, who worked at the salon for eight years after moving from another Darlington salon, having been a hairdresser for 15 years, said: “Latimer Hinks’s Neil Stevenson was very supportive and professional and has helped me fulfil my ambition of running my own hair salon.
“He was approachable and offered a thorough service, which was good value for money.
“I’d like to thank him for his help and support in helping to make everything run smoothly.
Neil Stevenson, a partner in the commercial property department at Latimer Hinks Solicitors, who conducted the legal work, said: “I am delighted to have been able to help Caroline achieve her dream.
“I am sure that the business will continue to go from strength to strength under her ownership.”
