Denise Finlay has been appointed client services consultant by the expanding employment law, HR and health and safety firm AfterAthena.

Joining from Croner, Denise brings more than 27 years of experience in sales and business development to support the growth plans of AfterAthena, part of Napthens Group, the north west-based law firm headquartered in Preston.

Her key role includes developing an understanding of the clients of AfterAthena to support them by building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency and results.

Chris Boyle, partner at AfterAthena, said: “Denise is an essential appointment for us because she knows that true success doesn’t come from quick wins or ticking boxes, it comes from doing things properly, putting the client first, and ensuring businesses are compliant, protected, and stress-free.”

Denise added: “I’ve always taken great pride in delivering more than just a service – I work to understand each business and their clients, support them the right way, and develop those long-term relationships.  

 “What matters most to me is the value I bring – to the clients I work with, the teams I support, and the businesses I help protect. Here’s to this next chapter with AfterAthena, supporting the firm and its client with care, integrity, and purpose.”

Clients of AfterAthena include Fitness First, Booths, Fresenius Kabi, Thwaites, English Football League and N Brown PLC.

AfterAthena is part of Napthens Group, the law firm that provides legal services to businesses and individuals.

AfterAthena provides support to clients, covering employment law, HR, and health and safety.

Initially launching to an existing client base of more than 450 businesses covering more than 150,000 employees.

The firm has been designed to provide its community of business leaders, owners and HR professionals with all the resources they need in one place.
