I worked for Vincent when he first set up the partnership Davis, Browne & Brown in Barkingside. I will always be so grateful to Vincent as not only did I learn everything about being a Legal Secretary, Vincent was happy to allow me to start work in the morning after I had dropped my two children at school and I was also able to end my day early so that I could collect them at the end of the day.  With hindsight, I now understand that family was everything to Vincent. We all worked hard at VB&B but it was always fun, especially the annual staff Christmas lunch at the Travellers in Woodford. Vincent has been my family's solicitor since the early eighties advising us on many property transactions, litigation and giving us general advice, he always achieved the best results for us. Vincent was not only a brilliant solicitor, he was a good family friend who will be missed very much. Love to Sheila and the family. Marilyn xx
