Appointment of Director of Strategy and Implementation for Frenkel Topping
Group

 

Frenkel Topping (AIM: FEN), a specialist financial and professional services
firm operating within the personal injury and clinical negligence marketplace
is pleased to announce the appointment of Rebecca Bidwell as Director of
Strategy and Implementation for Frenkel Topping Group.

 

The newly created role will lead on transformation projects to support the
Group strategy and accelerate the integration of recent M&A activity
inside the Salford-based firm.

 

Bidwell moves from her role as Managing Director of Bidwell Henderson - the
leading costs consultancy acquired by Frenkel Topping Group in 2021.

 

With the brief to lead on the implementation of change across the Group and
deliver its project portfolio, Bidwell will bring her experience of nurturing
'grassroots' talent to deliver successful change while building a culture of
learning and development.

 

Richard Fraser, Frenkel Topping Group CEO, commented: "Rebecca's role will
allow us to accelerate our successful integration of recent M&A and
identify further opportunities for growth. To lead through change in a
business of our size, you need a true people person. Bec lives and breathes
learning and development and is genuinely passionate about nurturing talent.
I'm delighted that we have secured a brilliant female leader in professional
services to take Frenkel Topping Group forward."

 

Rebecca Bidwell commented: "Since we joined Frenkel Topping Group as Bidwell
Henderson in 2021 we've become part of a truly extraordinary business. Steeped
in history and expertise and occupying a very unique space in the market, our
potential is huge. I am honoured to take on the group role to continue to
drive our culture of learning and development and to nurture the talented team
to push boundaries and really thrive."

 

Bidwell Henderson, established in 2014, specialises in high-cost case plans
and claims, and legal aided matters where an inter partes costs order is
successfully ordered.

 

Bidwell Henderson has built a leading legal aid costs agency in England and
Wales. It holds a market leading position in drafting high-cost case plans
which are required when significant costs are involved in large scale and
complex legal cases. Bidwell Henderson covers specific areas of law such as
complex public and private family, housing, judicial review, Court of
Protection, abuse and clinical negligence cases. In addition, Bidwell
Henderson challenges the traditional legal aid costs firm model and has built
its success on developing ancillary services in legal aid processing, legal
cashiering and costs training.

 

Frenkel Topping Group employs 376 people to deliver legal and financial
services in the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence sector.
