The Great Nash Bake Off

The Great Nash Bake Off

28^th October 2013

The day of the Bake Off was very exciting.  The Bakers were all summoned to the conference room by the Bake Master to bring in their Bakes.  She laid them out for us in preparation for Joanne from Jeremiah’s Journey and Jeremiah the bear coming to act as judge.

The Bakers were (in alphabetical order):

• Joanne Arnold (Administrator)
• Peter Ash (Associate      Solicitor – Family/Children)
• Amberjane Baker (Secretary)
• Vivien Bell (Assistant Solicitor – Family)
• Helen Bull (Partner      Solicitor – Family/Children)
• Hilary Cragg (Associate Solicitor –      Elderly Client)
• Christopher Stephens (Associate Solicitor – Commercial Property)
• Jan Thomas (Costings)
• Sue Wakeham (Receptionist)
• Vanessa Walker (wife of Senior Partner)
• Helen Wheeler (Associate Solicitor –      Family)
• John Wyatt (Managing Partner Solicitor – Litigation)
