A SALISBURY-BASED personal injury law firm has won an award for its commitment to helping and supporting employees who combine work with caring for a family member.

Novum Law received the bronze award at the Working for Carers’ first-ever gala evening to celebrate the success of local Wiltshire firms.

The awards are organised by charity, Carer Support Wiltshire.

Neil Elliott, partner of Novum Law, said: “It’s vital that all employers understand what staff members who care for loved ones are going through and provide as much help and support as possible.

If they don’t, they could risk losing loyal members of their team. We are delighted to accept a Working for Carers Award.”
