Guildford’s
business leaders gathered at the Guildhall last week to welcome and support the
launch of Third Sector Law a specialist law firm supporting charities and their
professional advisers.
Representing
the council the Deputy Mayor, David Elms, welcomed the diversity of commerce in
the town. He said:
“This is a thriving borough and this is a new company within the borough. New
blood is always welcome. To continue being a thriving borough, a diverse
commerce base is necessary and that is what this type of commerce brings to our
community. The future is you, the people who work, live and spend money in the
community: you are the heart and soul of our boroughs’ success. Welcome to our
community.”
But attendees
were not all from the charity field. Also happy to celebrate the launch was our
very own Chaz Brooks (pictured here with Steven Meredith) who said: “I’m here
supporting local business. Guildford is a great place to do business. I work
here, live here and my daughter goes to school here. We must support local
business.”
