Hampshire: Army homecoming for Glanvilles solicitor

Sian Davies, a senior solicitor in law firm Glanvilles' family department, is soon to return after a year in Afghanistan. Davies temporarily left Glanvilles in June 2012 to serve with the British Army as part of Operation Herrick. 

Glanvilles CEO Jeremy Weeks said: “As a member of the Territorial Army we always knew it was likely that Sian would be called for active duty in an operational environment. When we got the news we were extremely proud to know that she would be helping our troops. It is clear on speaking with Sian that she has fully embraced the experience."

Said Davies: “I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve with HM Armed Forces in an operational environment as I have been in the TA for many years now. Both my military and trade skills were put to the test there. Day to day I was working as a vehicle mechanic inside Camp Bastion, our main priority being to get the vehicles fixed and back on the road. On occasions I left Camp Bastion as part of a vehicle convoy to other British camps around Helmand Province in Afghanistan and my years of training became vitally important at that time.

"I am soon to return to Glanvilles on a full-time basis and am looking forward to getting back.”
