Save UK Justice

An e-petition has been drafted in order to try and force a debate in parliament regarding the threat to the provision of legal aid services contemplated by the Government. 

Not only are there plans to reduce access to justice by depriving citizens of legal aid or the right to representation by the Solicitor of their choice, but large public funding cuts will also have a massive effect on the legal services industry.

It is of great importance that matters which carry so much consequence such as this should be decided on the back of correct and formal debate within parliament and not decided without reasonable questioning.

This petition needs 100,000 signatures to force through a debate in parliament; so please feel free to have a read over the finer details and if you feel the same as we do, please sign the petition.

Give and Gain Day - Wrexham 2013

Queensway sports stadium in Wrexham played host to over 400 school children in a 'Give and Gain' day last week. The day was part of the national Business In The Community (BITC) scheme which encourages businesses to send employees to assist in a day of volunteering.

On this occasion, with the Rugby League World Cup coming to Wrexham in the summer, the North Wales Crusaders Rugby League team also offered their help in order to teach the children some basic Rugby skills.

We were lucky enough to be invited along due to our close relationship with the Crusaders, and it was a fantastic spectacle to witness. Great credit must be given to all of the businesses who supplied volunteers to make the day a success, along with Wrexham County Borough Council and the North Wales Crusaders. It was brilliant to see such an event thriving in the middle of Wrexham.

Go Wales 10th Birthday Celebrations

A celebration was held at Glyndwr University on Friday 10th of May to mark the 10th anniversary of the Go Wales graduate work scheme.

The scheme has aided almost 6500 graduates in gaining vital experience in employment while securing approximately 80% of those graduates a full time position post completion of the placement.

Allington Hughes were invited to the celebration in order to receive an award for being one of the 650 businesses involved with the scheme. Marketing Consultant Louie Middlehurst completed a 10 week work placement at the firm towards the end of November 2012 and has since retained a full time position.

We think it is important to contribute to the development of local talent, as highlighted by our long standing ethos of developing young people within the firm ready to maintain their role once fully qualified. Go Wales is a fantastic scheme that has a proven track record of producing credible, employment ready graduates to aid in the development of Welsh businesses.
