Hesketh has worked at legal practices specialising in conveyancing for more than 30 years, including sitting on the executive board of the Conveyancing Association, chairing the Liverpool Law Society conference and as consultant for new entrants to the market.

At ULS, Hesketh will work on pushing forward change within the conveyancing process using technology.

Hesketh says: “The conveyancing market and home moving process has been under overwhelming pressure for a considerable time with systems and procedures that are often not fit for purpose. There is a real need and desire to change both for consumers and professionals alike.  To be part of that evolution and help deliver this change within a forward thinking and prominent company like ULS Technology is really exciting.”

ULS chief executive Jesper With-Fogstrup says: “Since joining ULS Technology, I have been clear in our objective to transform conveyancing and revolutionise home buying and selling for everyone involved – and appointing a director of conveyancing transformation is a natural next step in this journey. Angela has incredible experience and has already demonstrated her determination to enact change through her previous work.”
