Kate Carpenter

Kate joined the original Sweeney Miller team back in May 2006. Over the years she has successfully fulfilled a number of key roles within the firm, including Newcastle Office Manager and PA to the Partners. Throughout her career with Sweeney Miller, Kate has gained a high level of knowledge and experience in Conveyancing, she led the file opening team across the business for many years whilst also carrying out PA duties. She is now responsible for the management and welfare of our team on both offices.

I’ve worked at Sweeney Miller for nearly 20 years, during which time I’ve held a variety of roles across the firm—including Receptionist, Legal Secretary, Conveyancing Assistant, Head of New Business Department, PA to the Partners, and Newcastle Office Manager. I now have the role of People and Culture Manager.

Throughout my time here, Sweeney Miller has always felt like a family. The Partners have consistently supported my development and encouraged me to grow within the firm—something I’ve been able to achieve over the past two decades.

I enjoy spending time with my family, I have two daughters and also a cockapoo so we like to spend time outside on adventures together. We love to travel and enjoy family holidays together. I also love attending live music concerts.
