Community & Social Responsibility

Our goal is to maintain a continuing commitment to behave ethically and to contribute to the economic development of the community. At the same time we strive to improve the quality of life of our workforce and the local community and society generally.

This year so far we are managing the firm responsibly in areas such as risk management, client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, health and safety and money laundering.

As ever and as always we also do charitable work in the local community including:

  • Sponsoring the North Devon Hospice in connection with the event of the National English Sheepdog Trials to be held at Castle Hill Filleigh near South Molton over three days 21st, 22nd and 23rd August 2009.
  • Members of staff and friends and family entered the Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK. A sum in excess of £500 was raised by the entrants and the day was enjoyed by all who attended.
  • We are supporting other companies in the area raising funds for charity by attending their events, such as the Solicitors Croquet Challenge in Exeter in aid of Hospiscare. Two of our partners managed to reach the semi-finals but were beaten by a better team and the torrential rain!
  • Staff dress ‘appropriately’ on Jeans for Genes Day, which they have done for a number of years, to raise funds for research into genetic disorders in children. Call in and throw some pennies into our sewn up jeans in reception!
  • Involvement in the National Sandcastle Competition on Woolacombe Beach in June raising money for North Devon Hospice
  • Sponsorship of the Ladies Professional Tennis at Tarka Tennis from 4 October 2010
  • Dressing 'in the Pink' for the annual Breast Cancer Campaign Pink Day, this year 28 October 2011
  • Participating in the Will Aid Scheme for 2011
  • Raising money for Children in Need; baking cakes and playing Pudsey games

We also try to be as envirnomental friendly as possible through:

  • Recycling of paper, plastics, cardboard and glass.
  • Buying recycled products for use in our offices.
  • Buying sustainably produced products where possible.
  • Doing business with other eco-friendly companies such as Citrus Digital.
