McTear Williams & Wood raise £2,400 for charity

McTear Williams & Wood, East Anglia's largest business rescue and insolvency practice, raised £2,400 for charity at its annual bowls tournament. Twelve teams of professionals from across the region battled for the "McTear Williams & Wood Bowls Challenge Trophy" at the event, which was held at the Breckland Leisure Centre.

This year's winning team is from Colchester-based chartered accountants Whittle & Co. There were also joint individual winners - Adam McCaw of Leathes Prior solicitors and Rob Trett of Barclays Bank plc.

Funds raised from the event have gone to the local area Community First Responders who are volunteers trained to attend local emergency calls received by the ambulance service and provide reassurance, comfort and care until a paramedica or ambulance arrives.

The cheque was presented by partner Chris Williams to representatives from the Community First Responders. McTear Williams & Wood extend their thanks to everyone who took part and to the Breckland Leisure Centre. Plans are underway to repeat the event next year.
