Carson McDowell

Everyone at Carson McDowell wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Over the festive period, our offices are closed on 24th, 25th and 26th December 2024 and 1st January 2025. We look forward to working with you in 2025. 🎅 🎄

This morning the Carson McDowell team and a number of our clients gathered for a festive brunch. We enjoyed carol singing, warm mince pies and the festive cheer that was in the air. It was a delightful morning and a great opportunity to catch-up with clients before the festive break.

This Christmas Carson McDowell is supporting The Welcome Organisation's Annual Gift Hamper Drive. The Welcome Organisation distributes over 300 gift boxes filled with essentials and treats to make the season a little brighter for those in need. Catherine Carton, Partner and Head of the CSR committee at Carson McDowell, said: “My colleague Marie McKeown and I were so pleased to have been able to drop off all the donations from our team at Carson McDowell today. The continued generosity from everyone at the firm is heartwarming and speaks to the culture and values of Carson McDowell. The Welcome Organisation does fantastic work in our community to help tackle poverty and homelessness. We wish them well in all their endeavours to make Christmas a little easier for those in need of their services this year.”
