Can you spot yourself in the social photos taken at Chapel Arts?

Gloucestershire law firm Willans marked its 70th birthday with a celebration at one of Cheltenham’s most exciting new art venues.

Chapel Arts, a former Baptist chapel in Knapp Road, saw staff toast the firm’s big milestone. Around 200 clients, friends, staff and partners reminisced over the rich history of Willans, which began as a ‘one man band’ in 1947 and today employs 75 staff in four offices.
