hlw Keeble Hawson marks new office opening with fundraiser for St Gemma’s Hospice

An event to celebrate the opening of hlw Keeble Hawson’s office move to Capitol Building at Bond Court, Leeds, has boosted funds for St Gemma’s Hospice by over £500.

The firm is a long standing supporter of St Gemma’s - Yorkshire’s largest hospice which strives to provide the best possible care and quality of life for local people with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.

hlw Keeble Hawson’s relocation from East Parade to the c.5,000 sq ft mezzanine floor of the newly refurbished Capitol Building is a formative development to support its vision and growth - and comes at time when the Leeds office market is experiencing unprecedented levels of demand.

Jenny Dixon, senior fundraiser at St Gemma’s said: “The event was a tremendous success and everyone at the Hospice would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to hlw Keeble Hawson. It costs over £9.7 million to run the Hospice each year, so continued support from companies such as hlw Keeble Hawson is vital to ensure that we can continue to provide this vital service to local patients. We wish the firm every success in its fantastic new office.”

Paul Trudgill, managing partner, hlw Keeble Hawson, said: “Putting something back into our communities is important to us a firm and we are delighted to help make a difference to such a worthy cause. We’d like to extend our thanks to our clients, colleagues and friends who attended the official launch of our contemporary new offices in the heart of the city and helped us to raise over £500 for St Gemma’s Hospice.”

One of Yorkshire’s largest law firms, hlw Keeble Hawson, which employs 250 staff, has offices in Leeds, Sheffield and Doncaster.
