South West Mediation was founded in 2003 by John Loram and
Vicki Lewis. They were already both experienced mediators and they recognised
that mediation was fast becoming a mainstream method of helping people resolve
their personal conflicts.
Accordingly, they felt that people looking for a mediation service wanted one
where the mediators were specialists and worked to the highest professional
standards. All our mediators are trained both in law and in mediation to national
standards.
Most of our referrals come from solicitors and they would be the first
to send their clients elsewhere if they felt that they were not getting the best
possible service.
We receive over 700 referrals a year from over forty solicitors' firms
in the areas we cover.
In a recent survey we conducted of all the solicitors who refer work to us, every
single response assessed our services as either "excellent" or "good".
