Sharon Walker has joined North West law firm Napthens as debt recovery manager.

Sharon, a Chartered Legal Executive, will be based in the firm’s Preston office. She joins following almost ten years’ experience in the recovery of debt from individuals and businesses, working for companies including Marsh Finance Ltd, Bolton-based Keoghs LLP and Ralli Solicitors in Manchester.

She has experience dealing with varying caseloads of work ranging from straightforward debt recovery to more complex litigation.

In her new role, Sharon will help clients pursue debts quickly and efficiently.

John Whittingslow, CEO of Napthens, said: “Sharon has a realistic and honest approach to debt recovery, which I am sure our clients will value tremendously.

“Feedback we receive from the businesses and individuals we advise means we are only too aware that recovering outstanding payments remains an issue for many, particularly SMEs, and Sharon will play a key role in helping clients secure cash flow.”

Sharon said: “I was impressed with the debt recovery packages Napthens offers, and believe they offer clients a minimum cost and maximum recovery service. “I’m looking forward to taking the service forward and continuing to help clients solve issues in ways which can have a real and lasting positive effect on a business.”
