A TEAM of solicitors took the afternoon off work to mess about on the river, but the boss didn’t mind … he was with them.
Staff from Blandy & Blandy were encouraged to down tools for a pleasant afternoon on the River Thames at the end of last month.
Their Reading and Henley offices were closed, to allow the teams to come together and enjoy lunch and a river cruise, organised by Hobbs of Henley.
And with the pandemic forcing people to work from home for much of the past two years, the trip was a chance to celebrate being able to work together again.
Blandy’s chairman Nick Burrows was full of praise for the gathering.
“This was only the second time in two years we have been able to get all of our colleagues together in person and it was fantastic to be able to do so,” he says.
“We wanted to thank our team for their hard work and dedication throughout what has been a very challenging time for everyone and we look forward to getting together again later this year.”
Blandy & Blandy has made a donation on behalf of every colleague who attended, meaning that the firm’s adopted charities, Babies in Buscot Support (BIBS) and the Royal Berks Charity will share £1,000.
