Blandy & Blandy
Business in Action over 50 employees sponsored by Boyes Turner
Over 200 Years of Community Commitment
Reading-based solicitors Blandy & Blandy have been part of the town’s community for more than 200 years.
Community support is described as “an intrinsic part of the firm’s identity”, with staff regularly going above and beyond to raise money and support local causes. From quizzes, skydives, walks, runs and cycling challenges to bake sales and other fundraising activities, the firm’s team raised more than £21,000 last year alone.
Previous chosen causes included The Cowshed and Berkshire Women’s Aid. The firm is now proudly supporting Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
Berkshire Women’s Aid described its partnership with Blandy & Blandy as “truly rewarding”.
The impact of the firm’s generosity was brought to life through a video shown at the awards, featuring some of the people who have benefited from its support and expressing their gratitude. A wonderful example of a long-established local business continuing to give back to the community it serves.
