On Monday this week we said good luck and farewell to Christina Tapper from our conveyancing department, after 19 years fantastic service to our clients.
A celebratory luncheon was held by the partners at the Saffron Walden office, and staff from our other offices attended. Christina was presented with gifts and good wishes.
Christina has successfully helped hundreds of clients move home (some on more than one or two occasions), following her departure this work will be carried out by Richard Tallon, a senior and specialist residential conveyancing solicitor, who has been with the firm since January.
The partners and staff will miss Christina, and wish her a very happy retirement.
On the 6th February we took part in WEAR IT. BEAT IT. – The British Heart Foundation charity day for wearing something red to work, and enjoying eating cakes! The day was organised by Becky Monk from our accounts department and in total we raised £55.00.
We have received another thank you for our donation to charity. This lovely thank you came from Save the Children for our £300 donation!
A Very Special Thank You!
We were delighted to receive a very special Thank You from EACH (East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices) this week for our donation of £350 to the charity.
Adams Harrison have carried the Christmas spirit into the New Year by donating £1000 across national and local charities. The money was given in lieu of sending Christmas Cards to their clients in December, something that they have done for the past few years.
Jennifer Carpenter, Managing Partner said, “we are delighted to have donated money to both local and national causes. We make donations to local charities every year, however, this year with the Ebola Crisis we felt it only right that we also donated to the Children suffering in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.”
Rebecca Dedman a Solicitor at the firm from their Family Department proudly presented a Cheque for £350.00 to Madeleine Heath at the East Anglian Children’s Hospice when she visited their Milton site in Cambridgeshire, last week (13th January).
Two days later Shoshana Goldhill – the family department partner presented a cheque to Claire Durrant the Chair of Trustees and Christine Till Scheme Manager of Home Start Uttlesford for £350.00 at their offices at Uttlesford District Council. In addition to donating to these two great causes, Jennifer Carpenter at Adams Harrison handed over a cheque to Lynne Taylor volunteer for Save the Children for £300 towards the Ebola Crisis appeal at the Saffron Walden office this week.
Christmas Parties are a great way to let your hair down and celebrate yet another busy year. At Adams Harrison this was most definitely the case. We changed our conventional sit down Christmas meal for an exciting and energy fueled dancing ceilidh. We all chose to dress up for this occasion in tartan.
Staff from the Sawston office won the fancy dress competition – arriving at the party dressed up as the Sawston Lochness Monster.
Happy New Year to you all!
