LAW firm mfg Solicitors has launched a bi-monthly programme of networking and social events for business professionals in Worcester.

The first event, attended by 40 invited guests, was a cheese and wine evening held at the Bottles Wine Bar and Merchants in New Street.

As well as networking opportunities, guests were able to taste a variety of Chardonnay wines, cheeses and charcuterie and heard from wine expert and owner of Bottles Richard Everton, who explained the history and the background of the wines available.

James Hayes, partner at mfg Solicitors, said: “We have launched a really different programme of networking events here in Worcester. As one of the city’s largest, most established law firms, we were keen to bring more professionals and Worcester business owners together. The first event was a huge success and the team at Bottles were tremendous hosts. The feedback has been exceptional and we are already looking forward to August’s event which will again have a food theme.”

The law firm’s next events, which will take on different themes, will take place in August, October and ending the year with an event in December.
