A modest start to breakthrough technology

Yvonne Hirons, CEO & Founder, established Perfect Portal in 2014 in the coastal town of Southport, Merseyside, UK. Initially designed to capture early client data, Perfect Portal has grown considerably under Yvonne's leadership. Today, hundreds of small, mid-sized & top 100 law firms worldwide are using our ground-breaking technology.

Meet the Leadership Team

Our Global CEO and Commander in Chief, Yvonne has worked in the legal sector since 1998 and founded Perfect Portal in 2014. Since then, she has remained our powerhouse and her solution-driven mindset and enthusiasm are at the core of the substantial growth that the business has seen over the last few years.

Fun Fact: Yvonne loves sailing her boat, ‘Pubseeker’ across the canals of her much-loved local area and prides herself on her ability to (almost) always maintain her balance when dancing on any surface!

Yvonne Hirons

CEO & Founder

We're so excited to have Melissa on board as our Sales Manager. With over 20 years of experience in conveyancing and real estate, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Sales team. In her downtime, Melissa loves spending time with her family and friends, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Given her love for good food and drinks, it's not surprising that she once owned a coffee shop!


Fun fact:
 Melissa can do a headstand on demand! (Yes, we did fact-check this immediately after finding out. Feel free to do the same if you ever bump into her at an event!)

Melissa Traynor

Sales Manager

Our Senior Sales Executive uses his 20+ years of experience to show law firms the power of digital and how the latest tech and IT solutions can help them grow. His vibrant and friendly approach has driven our unprecedented growth across the UK with more law firms adopting Perfect Portal’s technology.

Fun Fact: At the weekends Rob can be found engaging in a healthy dose of family competition at his local golf course in Worsley.

Rob Lawson

Strategic Sales Manager

Our Product Manager, Andy, has gone from strength to strength since he joined the Perfect Portal team back in 2015. Since then, he has helped us develop and grow as a business. Andy is at the core of the company’s internal structure and is the living proof that men can multi-task.

Fun fact: Andy is Perfect Portal’s very own sourdough and pizza creating pro!

Andy Owen

Product Manager

Sophia has a law degree from LJMU University and four years of experience in property law, as well one year working on electrical engineering projects.

She also likes going to the gym and keeping fit while eating out (it's all about balance!).

Fun Fact: Her pup Bruce is an adorable baby bulldog who is simply gorgeous.

Sophia Sanchez

Product Manager

Emily has joined the team with 7 years of conveyancing experience under her belt and spent the last 2 as team manager.

When she’s not busy managing the Client Success team, she spends all her spare time in the Lakes (it’s practically her second home) with friends and family – mostly with a drink in hand!

Fun fact: She absolutely loves 80’s music, especially when accompanied by her (bad) dance moves.

Emily Briscoe

Head of Client Success

George's professional background in conveyancing has equipped him with a wealth of industry-specific knowledge and experience. His in-depth understanding of the legal procedures involved in conveyancing allows him to anticipate the needs of his clients and offer tailored solutions to help them achieve their goals.

In his spare time George is an avid rugby player who takes to the field most Saturdays, mainly so he can enjoy a few guilt-free beers after a match.

Fun Fact: Controversially (and much to the disgust of his colleagues), George is not a fan of roast dinners.

George Gates

Senior Account Manager

Michael Scotland, the HelpDesk Consultant who's worked in conveyancing as a case handler is a dog dad and one of the first Bluecoat's to join Perfect Portal.

Fun Fact: Incredibly, Michael can do a cartwheel into the splits after several drinks - but not too many!

Michael Scotland

Senior HelpDesk Consultant

Martyna is a driven individual who has been working in customer service for seven years, qualifying as an ILSPA Legal Secretary in the process as well as studying for a Law degree with the Open University.

She loves being active and hates sitting still, so she goes on long walks with her dog (the most adorable Akita called Kira) or hikes when the opportunity arises!

Fun fact: After she's had a few, her alter ego Chloe makes a musical appearance as thinks she's can play the guitar and piano super well!

Martyna Wojciechowska

Account Manager
“In the UK, we have quickly grown and now we operate in Australia where we are seeing enormous growth. Our challenge is now to build on our local talent pool and to attract more developers, sales people and account managers who have demonstrable skills. We know that Southport holds plenty of talented people who can really add to the business and I’d be delighted to hear from anyone out there looking to grow themselves with a local and global technology brand.”
