THREE members of staff at law firm Sintons are marking 75 years of combined service.

Michelle Coates, Janet Forrest and Helen Pryor have each achieved 25 years of unbroken service at the Newcastle firm, which this year enjoyed its ninth consecutive year of double-digit growth.

During the 25 years the three women have been with Sintons, which was founded in 1896, there have been many changes, including two office moves.

In 1998, Sintons moved to more spacious premises in Osborne Terrace, in Jesmond, Newcastle. In 2004, the firm moved again to more modern premises at The Cube, in Barrack Road, near St James’ Park, Newcastle, when the firm also changed its name to Sintons LLP.

Ms Coates and Ms Pryor work in the private client department, supporting partners and staff with secretarial and administrative tasks, while Ms Forrest is a registrar’s clerk, supporting the work Sintons carries out for the dioceses of Newcastle and Carlisle.

Sintons chairman Jim Dias said: “Michelle, Janet and Helen have shown tremendous loyalty to the firm. It is dedication like this that means we have such low staff turnover.”
