CELEBRATIONS were held as a solicitor at a Fenland firm completed 25 years of service.

Ian Groome, from March, was rewarded for his dedicated work with Bowser Ollard and Bentley solicitors. A buffet was held in the Wisbech office where he works to mark the occasion and Mr Groome will also enjoy a meal for two at a high-class restaurant later this year.

Brian Bowser, Senior Partner at the firm, said: “Ian is an example to us all. He is a very hard worker and always goes that extra mile for all of his clients.

“Over the years he has become the engine that drives this firm. If he is with the firm for another 25 years he can take the grandfather clock with him.”

Mr Groome deals with all types of house buying and selling as well as drawing up wills and winding-up estates. He recently led the firm in achieving membership to the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme.

Bowser Ollard and Bentley also has a branch in March.
