Miriam Lee, one of the longest serving consultants spoke very highly of Jenrick’s approach to flexible working - especially in light of returning to work after the birth of her first child.

I’ve worked with Jenrick ever since I was 18 years old - starting with the company back in 1991. For me, Jenrick is not just where I work, it is part of my life.

Throughout my career I’ve always put in 110% - I’m not someone who works in half measures, therefore, when I had my first child in 2006 it was a real shock to suddenly not be at work.

Funnily enough, the team had to literally kick me out of the office as I kept refusing to go on maternity leave - I eventually went on leave two weeks before the birth of our son.

The first time I realised how understanding and flexible Jenrick was, was when my first six months of maternity leave were completed. It surprised me how much I was enjoying being a mum and I really wanted to stay at home for another six months.
