Mayo Wynne Baxter has won the Professional Services Firm of the Year category, sponsored by Crawley Borough Council, at the 15th Gatwick Diamond Business Awards last night (Thursday 23 March).

The specialist law firm has a number of offices in the south east including Crawley and was selected as winners by Gatwick Diamond Business judges.
