Commenting on his appointment, Mr Daniels said, “I am honoured to have the opportunity to lead a great team of people in an office which is one of the largest professional services employers in the city. During the next three years, in addition to focusing on talent, we need to continue to deliver exceptional service for our clients. Although our clients tend to be national and international organisations, there is more that we can do to develop our work in the South West region and to contribute to the success of our clients in the local community."

In Bristol, DACB supports various initiatives through volunteer and ESG work, including The Mazi Project, Elderly Lunch Club, Parsons Street Primary School and Love to Ride. Last year, the office was also named 'Innovators of the Year' at the Bristol Law Society Awards.
