Adams Harrison were delighted to be invited to attend Witchford Village College’s careers fair earlier this week.
Jack Stewart met with some bright and enthusiastic students interested in taking up a career in law and is confident the future looks bright for the next generation of budding lawyers.
Anton Bilinski and Luke Gardener represented Adams Harrison at the Samuel Ward Academy Student Careers Fair on 22nd September 2023.
Over 1200 students from all year groups attended the event and were able to ask questions at the Adams Harrison stand and about 35 other local businesses and further education establishments.
Luke commented that
the students were all enthusiastic and interested, from the youngest who often had a very clear idea of what they wanted to do when they grew up, to the older students who were more circumspect and were considering all options.
Jennifer Carpenter, Matthew Darmon and Anton Bilinski represented Adams Harrison at Castle Manor Academy Careers Fair today.
5 year groups, from year 6 to year 10 attended the event.
Approximately 23 local businesses and organisations were represented, which gave the students an opportunity to hear about different types of organisation and the work they do.

We were pleased to receive feedback from the organiser;
I hope you will all agree that between us we have managed another successful event to support the students within the town.
Again, I would like to express both mine and the Partnerships thanks for your efforts to make these events the success they are.
A small team from Adams Harrison, Lisa Thornhill, Solicitor at the Sawston office and Sue Lawton, attended this Business and Law Careers Fair at the Anglia Ruskin University.
We received a really nice “Thank You” from them.
Sincere thanks for contributing to the success of our Business & Law Careers Fair yesterday.
We had over 200 student visitors and the feedback was excellent. Students commented on how valuable an opportunity it was to meet employers and find out about future jobs in their sector, as well as receiving tips on how to make their application stand out.
I know how difficult it is to find time in your busy diary to support events like these and I appreciate your time and effort.

Adams Harrison supported the recent Haverhill Schools Career Fair held at the Samuel Ward School.
Children from three different schools in the area, Samuel Ward, Castle Manor and Churchill, attended the event run throughout the day on Friday 20th September, Students were given the opportunity to find out about what opportunities there were for them in the workplace.
The Police, NHS, Army, Customs and a host of other stands were there for the students to come along and find out what is involved and what qualifications they would need to be accepted.

After the Fair we received the following feedback, from Glen Todd of New Anglia LEP
Thank you all for attending and supporting with the first Haverhill Careers Fair on Friday. Your participation was very much appreciated by the students and staff at Samuel Ward Academy, Castle Manor Academy and Churchill Special Free School. In all we had approximately 1500 pupils attend on the day and we received extremely positive feedback from students and teachers.
The significance of your attendance to the young people I believe can be highlighted by the below research.
“Young adults who have greater levels of contact with employers while at school are five times less likely to become not in education, employer or training (NEET) and can expect, when in full-time employment, to earn up to 18% more than peers who had no such employer engagement.” https://www.educationandemployers.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/its_who_you_meet_final_26_06_12.pdf

Adams Harrison were proud to be one of the sponsors for the Haverhill Show on Sunday 15th July 2018.
By sponsoring £250 for the event it meant that various activities could be made available for children at a significantly reduced cost.
We like to get involved in local events. It was lovely to be able to be based on the Recreation Ground all day. Jenny Carpenter (Managing Partner), Sue Lawton (Practice Manager) and Cathy Buck (Legal Executive) were able to meet and greet a number of people and assist with some legal enquiries. Children enjoyed our free lucky dip.
We look forward to being involved again next year.
