Following a serious accident whilst skiing in April this year, senior partner David Wyatt is getting his feet back under the table.
David was flown from the ski area to the specialist spinal centre at Grenoble University Hospital where he underwent 2 operations to repair fractures to his vertebrae and spent 5 weeks in hospital. “ Having skied for more than 35 years I have had a few spills but what was a relatively small fall proved to be the most serious. I am thankful for the skill and care of the surgeons at Grenoble. Unfortunately there will be no skiing for the foreseeable future and I will have to seek other winter distractions in future. I will certainly miss the high mountains and buzz of skiing.” said David David sends his thanks to all those who sent get well messages following his accident. Partner, Stephen Partridge, has decided to retire and left the firm in April after nearly 20 years as a Partner. Based at the Telford office, Stephen was last seen frequenting the Shropshire golf courses. The partners and staff send their best wishes for his retirement. Stephen thanks all his clients that he has worked with during his 30 years with the practice.
