Director at law firm JCP Solicitors, Andrew Meech, has been appointed Under Sheriff of West Glamorgan.
Mr Meech, the joint head of commercial litigation at the Swansea headquartered firm, acts for blue chip clients including sports brand Macron and Burns Pet Nutrition. He will support the recently appointed High Sheriff of West Glamorgan Alan Brayley.
Director and chief executive at JCP Solicitors, Hayley Davies said: “This new appointment is such a good fit for Andrew and all of us here at JCP are delighted for him. Andrew came to us in 2005 as part of the inaugural Swansea University placement scheme and since then his career trajectory has been swift and impressive. I know he will bring a wealth of ideas and positivity to his Under Sheriff role, and he will be a fine ambassador for JCP in this capacity, too.”
Mr Brayley, the founding director at Abg Windows & Doors Specialists and a past president of Swansea Bay Business Club, said: “I am delighted to welcome Andrew to the fold and I look forward to working alongside him as he makes a meaningful contribution to the work of the High Sheriff’s office.
"High sheriffs and their team play an active and supportive role within their counties, to the police and emergency services and public sector agencies, including the probation and prison services, as well as supporting voluntary sector organisations involved in crime reduction and social cohesion. I am excited to have Andrew on board, as I know he brings a fresh set of skills and experience to these roles. I look forward to spending time with him to come up with new and interesting ways to support our community.”
The office of High Sheriff is an independent, non-political, royal appointed role. Duties include attendance at royal visits in the county and support for High Court judges when on circuit.
