Professional Lap Warmer & Chief Morale Officer

Buddy joined Hetts Solicitors with a primary mission: lower office stress and ensure no biscuit goes un-sniffed. As our Professional Lap Warmer, he provides vital silent support to the Conveyancing team.

While the rest of the team focuses on complex legal matters, Buddy maintains a sharp focus on office logistics, specifically the location of the nearest sunlight patch and the timing of the next lunch break. He is widely recognised for his ability to detect a rustling snack packet from three floors away.

A Proactive Approach to Wellbeing

Prior to his legal career, Buddy spent significant time training in the art of the "Deep Sigh" and "Head Tilt." This unique background allows him to offer a calming presence during even the most stressful statutory deadlines.

While many colleagues focus on paperwork, Buddy’s analytical training allows him to scrutinise the office floor for fallen crumbs with unmatched precision, ensuring the workspace remains clean and snack-free.

Local Expert, Global Cuddler

Based at our Scunthorpe headquarters, Buddy is the first point of contact for anyone entering the office with a friendly disposition (or a pocket full of treats).

Using modern greeting technology (his tail), Buddy offers high-level enthusiasm typically associated with puppies, but with the refined napping technique of a senior professional. He bridges the gap between high-pressure legal environments and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Buddy is an established member of the Association of Loyal Office Paws (ALOP) and is regarded as an industry expert in stress litigation (curing it via cuddles).
