DWF loses Newcastle head Flynn in wake of Crutes deal

"........... he [Mr John Flynn] was headhunted by DWF around this time last year............". "This was generally regarded as being something of a coup on the part of DWF". Mr Flynn stated: “Some of the things I bring from Dickinson Dees are very good – a commitment to quality, a belief that you have to do things right, that we don’t make things up as we go along". “Andrew Leaitherland said to me [Mr John Flynn]: ‘We are going to grow’. "After he told me how big they were and how fast they had grown, I said to him: ‘Do you know we grow leeks in the North East. We grow great big leeks and they are massive, but they taste awful’ “Andrew laughed at that....." I hope you don't mind that I have taken the above quotes from previous articles on another website and not being a Solicitor I hope that it is alright for me to do this. My opinion is that the above quotes illustrates the differences between Leaitherland as DWF's aggresive spokesperson who appears to be solely fixated on profits and Mr John Flynn's wiser and( to my mind) more acceptable approach to progressing a company.
