Butcher & Barlow 's Private Family Department had a wonderful and glamorous evening last Thursday when we all got a rare chance to dress up and attend Exchange Chambers Annual Charity Ball in support of Rooprai Spinal Trust - a truly important cause. With offices spread across Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, in person meet ups aren't always that frequent so the ball was an excellent opportunity to spend time together as a department whilst also raising money for a worthy cause.
