Successful event celebrates a year since Bonell & Co became part of Alsters Kelley Solicitors Ltd.
After two years of effectively avoiding close contact with people and a general lack of face-to-face social interaction, it was good to finally be able to do something different. That’s why last week we were delighted to welcome nearly 100 people to Stratford’s Town Hall to help us celebrate a whole year since Bonell & Co became part of Alsters Kelley Solicitors Ltd.
A big welcome to Bonell & Co
Julie McGarrigle, Business Development Director explains more. “The event was primarily an opportunity for us to introduce ourselves and other members of the AK team, as well as officially welcome Andrew and other Stratford staff to the team.”
Julie continued. “We had a great turnout. Directors, staff, clients, suppliers and business contacts, and the Mayor of Stratford, joined us for a wonderful evening of wine, canapes and plenty of chat. As well as a raffle to raise money for our nominated 2022 charities, there was a wonderfully designed and branded anniversary cake, which was expertly cut by Cathy Wahlberg and Andrew Bonell. We also had a professional photographer on hand, who captured some fantastic shots of everyone throughout the evening.”
Julie concludes. “The evening was a huge success, and the setting was picture-perfect too. We were in the Ante-Room and Ball Room upstairs in the Stratford Town Hall which are both beautiful spaces and complimented the evening perfectly. And we were delighted to use all local suppliers including Wine Poole, Fabulous Suppers, Laurence Jones Photography and KOVA Support for the bar, food, cake, photography and event planning.”
Additional services and client focus
Alsters Kelley Solicitors Ltd, one of Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading law firms, acquired Stratford-based Bonell & Co Solicitors in January 2021, when the country was in lockdown. Since then, the office in 2 Chestnut Walk, which traditionally dealt with conveyancing and family law, has seen a makeover. Not only has it been repainted, but it has expanded its range of legal services to include Criminal Litigation & Motoring Offences, Dispute Resolution, Medical Negligence, Personal Injury, Wills, Probate and Trusts.
With a few of the original staff remaining, and the introduction of increased technology, compliance and new service areas, the Stratford office continues to grow under its new ownership. With a focus on ensuring local clients continue to receive kind, helpful and excellent legal support, there has been a concerted effort to remain accessible, listen, understand and act promptly to ensure client needs are consistently met.
