Pannone makes director of communications redundant | Print |  Email to a friend
Tuesday, 02 December 2008
Leading North West law firm Pannone has made Deborah Ascott-Jones, the firm’s high profile director of communications, redundant as it looks to cut costs in line with the financial slowdown.

Ascott-Jones told How-Do that her role at the legal business “had been a victim of the credit crunch” and that she was due to leave the firm on 12 December.

She was, however, positive about the future and said that she “hoped to pop up elsewhere soon.”

Leading North West law firm Pannone has made Deborah Ascott-Jones, the firm’s high profile director of communications, redundant as it looks to cut costs in line with the financial slowdown.
Ascott-Jones was this year voted into the North West’s Top 100 Marketers and has held a position at the law firm since 2000. Prior to joining Pannone in 2000, she was with law firm Vaudreys, latterly as head of commercial marketing having previously spent eight years with Eversheds in Leeds.

She played a key role in the decision to appoint Madhouse to handle Pannone’s creative marketing account in July this year.

Ascott-Jones reported to Tim Dixon-Phillip who was appointed the firm's director of business development earlier this year.

Deborah's wealth of experience and ability will surely be sought after by others soon!

I agree with the above, best of luck Deborah.

Surely a recession should be a boom time for a law practice. All those inevitable divorces and financial crimes in the making? What a stupid time to get rid of a top marketeeer! Any of us contemplating a bit of fraud or losing a partner should go elsewhere.
