Bringing businesses together

The event was hosted by Evolve, a business advice provider, supporting those starting, growing and exiting a business. Our Managing Partner, Nigel Smith, Partners, Kate Brooks and Richard Smith and Senior Associate Solicitor, Conor Maher attended with guests to connect with other businesses and hear from CEO at Julia’s House Children’s Hospice, Martin Edwards who was guest speaker. Celebrating his 20th anniversary with Julia’s House, he shared his journey at the helm of the charity and stories of the latest fundraising challenges for charities.

Julia’s House is a charity providing practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, providing regular support in their own homes, in the community or in hospices. Learning more about how we can support local charities, like Julia’s House, is an important part of our put people first ethos at Ellis Jones.

Learning from others

The Evolve Business Leaders Lunch is a bi-annual event providing business leaders with opportunities to learn from one another whilst enjoying some delicious food and great company. Getting involved in local networking events like this is how we connect with communities surrounding our offices and gain valuable business insights to put into practice. We look forward to sponsoring the next Leaders Lunch coming up in 2026.
