Colleague Spotlight
Reece Ashmore, Trainee Employment Solicitor
Glasgow
Reece graduated with a First Class Honours in Law (LLB Hons) at the University of Strathclyde in May 2018. During his studies, he developed a keen interest in employment law, which is highlighted by his choice of dissertation topic: the employment status classification issues faced by Uber, for which he achieved a mark of 80%.
He also completed the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice in Law at the University of Strathclyde in March 2019.
Before starting his traineeship, Reece has been employed in a number of roles across a variety of different sectors, obtaining valuable skills and gaining exposure to different working practices and cultures – from working as a lifeguard and swimming instructor to being employed as a COVID Testing Operative.
Outside of work, one of Reece’s favourite hobbies is running. In October 2016, he completed the Glasgow Half Marathon, raising over £2,000 for Cancer Research UK. In the last couple of years, he has continued his fundraising efforts, raising over £1,300 for Movember UK by attempting to grow a moustache and running 60km during the month of November.

Client stories
“
Our relationship with WorkNest is more like a supportive partnership. They treat us like peers, and yet provide extraordinary support whenever we need it. Whether it is about the challenges of working through a pandemic or building a new HR strategy, the people at WorkNest have been kind, holding our hand when that was needed (and it was!) and skilled
experts, providing guidance as we required it. We would not have managed through this last period without them, and I look forward to more of this cooperation ahead.”
