The Partners and Staff held a "farewell party" in the Bear Hotel, Devizes for Commander Ian Richards who has been with the firm for 10 and a half years.

Ian, previously a Commander in the Royal Navy, joined the firm in November 1999 as a "Director of Legal Services". Ian has had many varied responsibilities in his role. Achievements included securing for the firm their Investors in People and Lexcel accreditations and, importantly, steering the business on a safe course through both benign and more troubled economic conditions.

The Bear Hotel which has been recently refurbished by Gordon Straker provided as always excellent food, drink and hospitality! Gifts and cards were presented, and speeches were made by Ken Welch and Partner Andrew Douglas. An enjoyable time was had by all!

The firm wishes Ian every success and happiness for the future!
