Christine Sharples has joined enforcement firm Rossendales as compliance manager.
Sharples has joined the firm from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), where she was best known to the enforcement industry for her tenure as head of the criminal enforcement team.
Since 2004, Sharples worked at the MoJ headquarters on the enforcement of court fines and confiscation orders in the Magistrates Courts.
This was followed by a secondment to the policy team which implemented the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement (TCE) Act 2007, where she headed the bailiff fees review.
Sharples has spent her entire working life at the MoJ and its previous incarnations as the department for Constitutional Affairs and, before that, the Lord Chancellor’s department. She has also worked on the department’s behalf in crown and county courts.
“I am delighted to be continuing my career within the enforcement industry and particularly with such a prestigious firm as Rossendales,” Sharples said. “It will be a different experience working with government departments from the other side of the table, but one I am looking forward to.”
Julie Green-Jones, chairman of Rossendales, added: “I have personally worked with Christine for many years on the TCE Act and have a great respect for her work ethic, her integrity and her knowledge and understanding of the enforcement profession.”
