“I am so so pleased that we got our kitchen from your business as not only is it beautiful but your service has been outstanding from start to finish.“

Lovely family firm, all the staff both in the office (especially Lauren), and the workmen that did the work were easy to deal with and dealt with queries quickly. Leah designed a lovely kitchen and utility with everything we wanted and nothing we did not want. She made some suggestions we had not thought of and it looks great and is very much user friendly.”

Acclaimed Family Law join forces with Sills & Betteridge A force to

Director of Acclaimed Family Law, Michelle Cooper, is delighted to announce the merger with renowned law firm Sills & Betteridge LLP.

Acclaimed Family Law will continue to operate under their own well-established name from their current offices at Cathedral Chambers, Campo Lane in Sheffield City centre. The multi award winning niche family law firm will now make available to clients the full range of personal and commercial services provided by Sills & Betteridge.

“We will continue to provide the exceptional service we are renowned for as Acclaimed Family Law under the Sills & Betteridge umbrella.” Explains Michelle, “In addition, our clients will now benefit from direct access to other departments including commercial, probate and conveyancing to provide them with an enhanced service from beginning to end which other stand-alone family teams cannot offer.”

Sills & Betteridge LLP is a long established, well regarded firm with an excellent reputation who have grown substantially in recent years. The collaboration sees the firm’s Yorkshire network grow to five offices since it first opened a small family practice in Doncaster in 2018.

Sills & Betteridge Chief Executive Martyn Hall explains their decision to join forces.

Your

Family Funeral Directors For over 80 years

63 year old Martyn has been in the funeral industry for 50 years so you could say… “he knows what he’s doing”, some of his friends may in jest say “really”?. However I can assure you that when it comes to caring for people, Martyn is the man for the job.

When you first meet Martyn you will immediately notice just how tall he is, a lofty 6ft 7 inches. A formidable character indeed, however you will feel completely at ease with Martyn as he guides you through the process of dealing with your affairs when it comes to arranging a funeral for your loved one.

Those 50 years’ experience has taught Martyn all he needs to know about every aspect of procedures from caring for the deceased to conducting a funeral and so much more which, ultimately will give you the confidence you need to face one of the most challenging times of your life.

From your first meeting to the final handshake, Martyn will look after you and your family. He is trustworthy, kind, caring and honest and this is the feeling you get upon meeting him. Martyn is passionate about caring for people and the only other profession he could possibly have taken up is one of a priest…….or a basket ball player!

Now the manager of G&M Lunts Ltd he oversees every aspect of the funeral home and has a wonderful team by his side, all of whom are caring, compassionate people putting your needs first. *written by a colleague and a friend
