“This firm is not simply about immigration solutions – it’s about changing lives.”
— Awards Judge

---

The first award of the evening was presented by Tosin Adenrele, Global Mobility Regional Lead EMEA, IQVIA.

Tosin has been a member of the judging panel for five years and was excited to present the first award of the evening.

“I was particularly impressed with the quality of the entries for this category,” she said. “That actually made it quite challenging from a judging perspective to narrow it down. I was inspired by the innovation, the cultural and organisational values, as well as a strong focus on customer service delivery, which was impressive. So all of the entrants you should be proud, and thank you for entering.”

Awards evening host. Jayne Constantinis explained the judges’ decision. "AY&J Solicitors impressed the judges with their innovative use of technology, commitment to staff development, and exceptional client service. Their bold vision and leadership in UK immigration mark them as true pioneers in the sector."

Yash Dubal, Founder and Director of A Y & J Solicitors, accepted the first trophy of the evening with pride.

“This is for the entire team at AY&J Solicitors. We've been doing this for over 15 years, and it hasn't been an easy journey. I'm very, very grateful for the amazing team we have. They made all this possible. So thanks to the A Y & J Solicitors team, and thank you, Relocate Global.”

Innovation meets impact: a bold vision for UK immigration

The judges were impressed by their innovation, “The turnarounds of immigration cases are impressive and will be groundbreaking for companies who need to deploy staff quickly overseas. 24-hour responses with a guarantee of a discount if they fail is a clever approach and an attractive proposition.”

The judges were impressed by some excellent examples of cost savings achieved by opening Indian operations, which were part of their success story. WhatsApp communications were also seen as a refreshing alternative to typical 3-day turnaround responses via email.

Culture, commitment and career growth drive success

Leveraging technology through various digital media platforms and AI was innovative and resourceful..

“With excellent customer support and the effective use of technology to enhance service speed and delivery, along with a strong emphasis on staff career development, this firm has a very bright future. It is recognised as a leading expert in UK immigration”, the judges concluded.

The significant growth in the company, along with a paternalistic approach to the organisation’s culture (including a 30% increase in employee satisfaction) and staff development, was evidenced in the submission.

One judge commented, “ I absolutely loved the submission video – AY&J’s passion for radical change, striving for innovation and career opportunities for all their staff provides a very compelling story and competitive edge in the immigration industry”.
