Irene Eke joined Brown & Lloyd, now known as GHP Legal, in 1986 and became ‘the voice at the other end of the line’ for many hundreds of the firm’s clients.
From persuading solicitors and other staff to dress down in support of Genes for Jeans, to getting them to wear pink socks, pink fingernails and even pink pyjamas on Wear It Pink Day for Breast Cancer Awareness, Irene has been an inspiration to everyone who works with her. "To be honest, I don’t know how I would have got through the time following my cancer diagnosis without the support of the firm’s staff and partners.
GHP Legal Senior Partner, Richard Lloyd, said: “Irene is one of the most cheerful people I have ever met, and she has been an inspiration to other breast cancer sufferers and survivors in the town. At GHP Legal we were all proud of the way she handled her illness and have always been keen to support her fundraising ideas.
