Exeter and Torquay offices raise over £4,500 for Devon charity

We're delighted to announce that employees at our Exeter and Torquay offices have raised £4,505 for Devon Wildlife Trust.

Earlier this year, the two offices announced their partnership with Devon Wildlife Trust as their chosen charity of the year.

The firm, which delivers accounting, tax and advisory services to businesses, academies and charities and private wealth advice to individuals, held a charity quiz at Sandy Park on 23 November to support the work of the Devon-based charity.

The quiz was hosted by SpeedQuizzing, and each team play via an app on a smartphone or tablet.

A total of 30 teams representing various local organisations took part. The quiz winners were Michelmores.
