Learner of the Month - Matthew Rigby, Nine St John Street

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

This month we are contratulating Matthew Rigby, who recently completed his advanced apprenticeship in business and administration with one of Manchester’s leading barristers’ chambers, Nine St John Street. Matthew lives in Wigan and found the apprenticeship opportunity through Damar.

Since joining Chambers, Matthew has taken on an increasing amount of responsibility and his role includes supporting the barristers in Chambers as well as liasing with firms of solicitors and court centres in Manchester and further afield. Matthew has his own profile on Chambers’ website here.

Our thanks go too to Senior Cilvil Clerk, Tony Morrisey and the team at Nine St John Street who have supported Matthew through his advanced apprenticeship.

Damar works with several barristers’ chambers in Manchester, as well as over 30 firms of solicitors, supporting them with the recruitment and training of apprentices in a wide range of roles, from administration to junior clerking to paralegal.

If you are interested in employing apprentices or in becoming an apprentice, please call Damar on 0161 480 8171 and ask for a memer of our recruitment team.
