A Lancaster solicitors is celebrating 75 years of providing legal services while still keeping a strong family connection to its founding father.
Joseph A. Jones was set up in 1949 and in 2024 marks three-quarters-of-a-century in business.
The firm was founded by the late Joseph A. Jones on Northumberland Street in Morecambe, later moving above the old Martin’s Bank (later Barclays) on the corner of New Street and Market Street in Lancaster city centre, before settling in its current home on Fenton Street in 2007.
Mr Jones had four daughters, including Sue Hodgson, who became a partner and worked there for more than 40 years, and Carol Turver who still works at Joseph A. Jones as a receptionist.
Carol spoke to Beyond Radio to share some memories of her dad’s firm, alongside Joseph A. Jones partner, TV legal expert Gary Rycroft.
