Pavilion Row celebrates double success at the British Wills & Probate Awards 2025
Pavilion Row is celebrating a double victory at the British Wills & Probate Awards, which recognises exceptional companies and individuals in the private client law sector, marking their achievements and the innovations they have shown.
We wowed the judges and took home the trophy for ‘Probate Provider of the Year – North & Midlands’ and were highly commended for ‘Private Client Team of the Year – Boutique’. It was stiff competition, as we were shortlisted amongst several well-established law firms from across the UK. The glitzy ceremony took place at Manchester’s Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and was hosted by TV presenter Ben Hanlin.
Since moving our headquarters to Sheffield four years ago, we have seen an 85% increase in turnover. The relocation hasn’t just been a success financially; we have been able to reap the benefits of Sheffield’s exceptional pool of talent within the private client law sector, growing our team and doubling the headcount.
Founding director of Pavilion Row, Angus Houston, says: “What an honour to receive two awards! The ceremony is run by specialist publication Today’s Wills & Probate, with industry experts acting as judges. You can imagine how delighted we are to be recognised by our peers.
“Our move to Sheffield was a strategic decision. Since then, we have grown our talented team and seen financial success, putting us in a strong position to progress through the next chapter of our business.
“I’d like to congratulate all the other winners. It was a fantastic evening and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the work being undertaken by my peers in the sector.”
Pavilion Row is one of around 50 firms worldwide which is a platinum accredited STEP (the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) Employer Partner, the professional body for inheritance and succession planning. Platinum is the highest accreditation, and all of our advisors have already achieved STEP qualifications or are currently progressing through development programs to attain them.
Angus served on the STEP Yorkshire Branch for 14 years, including a term as Chair. He also chairs STEP’s Worldwide Branch Development Committee and sits on the Professional Standards Investigation Panel, demonstrating commitment to the development of the wider industry.
