CHIPPENHAM OFFICE OPENING EVENT

MUCH AWAITED

CHIPPENHAM OFFICE OPENING EVENT

TAKES PLACE!


ABD were delighted to announce the opening of their new offices in Chippenham earlier this year, and celebrated this recently by having a much awaited office opening party.

The office opening was particularly important to ABD...
Henry Godwin Awdry, father of ABD’s present senior partner, Tony Awdry,  had started in a legal practice in Chippenham with his cousin Daniel Awdry but began to assist with the legal practice in St John’s Street, Devizes, then known as Jackson & Jackson, at the rear of No 33.   This was in 1948 and Henry Awdry joined the Devizes firm as a Partner the following year. When Guy Jackson passed away in 1953, Henry Awdry’s move to the Devizes firm became a permanent fixture.
Drinks and canapés were served as people arrived to chat and also explore the new offices.  Guests included The Mayor of Chippenham, Councillor Sylvia Gibson who is the 30th Mayor of Chippenham as well as local business people from the Town and surrounding areas. 







Alexander David, Partner and Head of Family Law, who heads up the Chippenham team commented “Chippenham possess a great sense of community and is continuing to develop and grow”





The office opening was a great success and will continue to grow from strength to strength...
