The highly anticipated and well-regarded, St Gemma’s Hospice Sale and Art Exhibition returned for another year raising over £20,000 for the hospice.

The annual Patrons’ Evening, which was sponsored by Winston Solicitors for the eighth year running, was held on Thursday 29October 2015 at The Grammar School at Leeds.

Guests enjoyed delicious canapés and a look at over 900 pieces of artwork created by professionals and aspiring artists from across the country. The launch of a dedicated photography exhibition was another welcomed feature to the highly successful event.

Throughout the four day exhibition, visitors were invited to vote for their favourite artist at the exhibition for the Suzanne Winston Award for Best in Show. This is an annual award and was presented on the final afternoon of the exhibition.

This year’s Best In Show winner was John Edwards, a full time, self-taught artist and illustrator specializing in ink and watercolour. Seven out of his eight paintings sold at the exhibition, and having exhibited at the event for the past 12 years, this was John’s first award win.

Client feedback

I am very pleased with the service I received from Winstons, this is the second time I have dealt with them for conveyancing services and on both occasions Leasa was incredibly thorough and reassured me every step of the way. When other parties failed to deliver, Leasa ensured things were chased up and delivered/received with accuracy. I would highly recommend and will be sure to use Winston's again for any future property purchases

Would highly recommend Winston's.Both Leasa and Julie were extremely professional and we recieved regular email and direct call updates.In the middle of an extremely challenging chain, they went above and beyond and became intermediary's liasing with everyone else in order to get the conveyancing completed on time.Thanks again for a great service.Regards

My conveyancer Samantha and her associate Michelle kept me informed of the progress of my sale throughout the transaction. It was of benefit to me that the Winston office was local with plenty of parking. I would recommend them for any conveyancing

Winston’s acted for us with our house sale and onward purchase. They have been excellent from start to finish. Leasa is extremely quick to respond to emails and more than happy to answer any questions. The online system is very efficient and helps keep you up to date with progress of the sale/purchase. Leasa and her team made the whole process so much less stressful than it could’ve been and we can’t thank them enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Teresa and Judith assisted with my recent divorce and i cannot rate them highly enough, i was talked through every aspect and everything was explained in full and i was kept fully updated and imformed of everything that i needed to do and when it was required for. Their patience when i was working away and understanding was especially appreciated.Once that was all complete Amanda and Samantha and the convayensing team sorted the transfer of the house and the paperwork associated with that.I would highly recommend them and thier company for any legal issues you have and would use thier services again without hesitation.
