SLS Wills and More is thrilled to announce that our founder, Sara Sheppard, has been appointed as the new Vice-Chair of The Society of Will Writers (SWW) Professional Standards Board (PSB), effective from 2025. This prestigious role reflects Sara’s unwavering commitment to enhancing consumer protection and professional standards across the Will Writing sector.
Since launching SLS Wills and More, Sara has been dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in her practice. A key part of her journey involved joining the SWW to uphold a commitment to excellence and ethical practice. Over the years, she has taken on various roles, including serving as a regional representative and a tutor for The College of Will Writing. Her contributions have consistently supported the SWW’s mission to improve professional standards within the industry.
Upon her appointment, Sara expressed her enthusiasm, saying:
“I’m thrilled to be able to continue to support the great work the PSB is doing and look forward to continuing the work all of us on the PSB have been undertaking. Thanks to both Anthony Belcher at the SWW, Anthony Brinkman on the PSB, and of course, the rest of the board for a wonderful vision.”
The SWW’s Professional Standards Board plays a crucial role in maintaining high standards of practice, ensuring consumer protection, and promoting professionalism within the Will Writing community. The board recently held its AGM, where Sara was unanimously voted in as Vice-Chair, succeeding Simon Brimage, who has served in this role for several years. Simon will continue his valuable contributions as a board member, helping to advance the PSB’s important work.
Chair of the PSB, Antony Brinkman, commented on the transition:
“The PSB extends its sincere thanks to Simon Brimage for his invaluable contributions as Vice Chair. His leadership over the past few years has been instrumental, and we are pleased that he will continue serving on the board for the benefit of all members.
We also welcome Sara Sheppard as our new Vice Chair. A highly respected and long-standing board member, Sara has led numerous projects and played a key role in our recent programs. Her experience and dedication make her the perfect choice for this position.”
Sara’s new role as Vice-Chair is not just a recognition of her hard work and dedication but also a testament to her vision for the future of the industry. At SLS Wills and More, we are immensely proud of Sara’s achievements and are confident that her leadership will continue to inspire excellence and innovation within the profession.
Please join us in congratulating Sara on this significant achievement!
