HEWITSON'S PARTNER JOINS US Welcome to Andrew Priest..... Andrew, a local solicitor, has lived in Suffolk with his wife, son (aged 5 and a half) and two dogs for 3 years.  Having managed the daily commute to London for 18 months every day he relocated to Cambridge as he wanted to see more of his family. He always said that we wanted to live in a village community and he is now very fortunate to have a good group of new friends in and around his village.  He and his family regularly participate in the various events which take place at the local village hall (a curry/quiz evening and a wine tasting being two recent examples), most of which is to raise monies for charities and other good causes. Andrew is Partner (Head of Technology) at Hewitsons LLP and mostly based in the Cambridge office although he does have to make the occasional journeys to their other offices in London, Northampton and Milton Keynes. Andrew Priest is inducted by the new president of the Rotary Club of Cambridge, Julian Landy.

Clare is welcomed into the Rotary Club of Cambridge  by past president PeterJones.

Helping charities at home and abroad...
