The event also raised £220 for Galanos House, a care home in Southam for the Armed Forces community, offering residential care as well as nursing, palliative and end-of-life care.
The home is set within grounds designed by the residents themselves, including a memorial garden, a bowling green and a bandstand. The residents’ shared experiences in the Armed Forces create a unique and supportive community.

Cathy Wahlberg MD, said: “Reaching ten years in Southam is a milestone we are incredibly proud of. Over the past decade we have built strong relationships within the local community and have seen our business and team grow. This event was our way of saying thank you to everyone who has supported us and we are excited about what the next ten years will bring.”
Longest serving member at Southam and the first employee ten years ago, is Legal Secretary Ella Lee. She said: “I remember my first day at Alsters Kelley like it was yesterday. Being a new office, it was very quiet for the first few months, but as the months passed the clientele started to increase and we became busier, which was great.
“When I started as receptionist my knowledge of the legal profession was minimal but as the years have passed, I have become more confident within the legal sector and I have a better knowledge and understanding of the types of cases required by a solicitor.
“My knowledge and confidence has grown through having supportive, kind and helpful colleagues and a great boss, Corrine Seabourne who supports and guides me where needed. It has been a pleasure and honour to build up the Southam office with Corrine.”
Corrine, Senior Associate, Private Client department, said: “It has been a privilege to see the office develop and expand. I especially enjoy working with the people of Southam and being a prominent part of their community.”
