A LAW firm in Romsey has celebrated its first anniversary with a party.

The Parker Bullen office opened in May 2021, headed up by partner and family law expert Jason Evans, who joined the firm to launch the new office.

Staff held a party on May 18 to celebrate. Local businesses, organisations and dignitaries such as Mayor of Romsey Neil Gwynne joined the team for the occasion.

Gareth Horner, managing partner, said: “Having this celebration is a landmark moment for us as a firm.

"We have had a presence in Salisbury and Andover for many years so venturing into a close knit community such as Romsey was a new challenge for us.

"We have been delighted by the welcome we have received from the local businesses and the wider community and have enjoyed continued success over the last 12 months.

"This party was not just a celebration of that but also a way to look forward to the future and explore more avenues of collaborative working with our neighbour businesses.”

Jason Evans, partner at Parker Bullen, said: “Many people may have wondered whether opening a new office during Covid-19 would have been a success, but due to the dedication of our staff as well as the support from the surrounding businesses we have thrived.
