DURING the evening of Thursday, March 10, local solicitors Veitch Penny welcomed clients and friends to a drinks and canapés reception at its Crediton office in Market Street.

The solicitors opened their doors after hours to introduce their new staff members and show off their newly decorated reception area.

During the evening there was a raffle prize draw to win an “Adara” gift basket. The lucky winner was Graham Carter of Devon Sales and Lettings. The proceeds of the raffle will be going to FORCE, the firm’s chosen charity.

Catherine Rosewell, Partner said: “There was a great atmosphere throughout the evening and our new team enjoyed introducing themselves to members of the Crediton community.

“It was good to see such a mix of faces, both new and old, and to have an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to Crediton and its surroundings.”
