general information
(a) about Hugh Anton-Stephens
"I qualified as a Solicitor in 1979 and as a Notary in 1983. I practised as a Solicitor until 2002 and continue to practise as a Notary, which also allows me to offer all of the services of a Solicitor, except for appearing in court. I am a member of The Notaries Society and hold full professional indemnity cover and Fidelity Insurance as a Notary Public.
"I also work part time as a Tribunal Judge in the Mental Health jurisdiction of the Health, Education and Social Care Chamber of the First Tier Tribunal.
"I have recently moved with my family to Montgomery, Powys on the Welsh-English border, which is near to the towns of Newtown, Welshpool, Churchstoke and Bishops Castle.
"Most of my spare time I spend in activities with my partner and our four children, but when I do have some time to myself I enjoy playing the piano and organ and I thoroughly enjoy walking the Welsh hills - or any others I can manage to get to.
"I am involved in the committee side of Scouting both at Area level and at all-Wales level."
