Legal accounts supervisor celebrates 50 years’ service

Ms Dunn joined the firm in December 1966 as an office junior when it was known as Dickie, Gray, McDonald & Fair WS. She eventually became accounts supervisor and witnessed Thorntons grow and develop into the full service law firm that it is today.

She said: “I can’t quite believe that I’ve been with the firm for 50 years. As you would expect many processes have changed over the years and my role has developed considerably. For example, the computer spreadsheets of today are a far cry from the thick bound ledgers I updated as a junior.”

Colin Graham, chairman at Thorntons, said: “It is a rare occasion that any business would celebrate 50 years’ service for an individual employee and I am delighted that we can mark this event at Thorntons.

“Ella is a pillar of the team here at Thorntons and knows her role inside out, she is very much our go-to contact in the finance department. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.”
