The Bristol office of international law firm CMS hosted its inaugural Women in Business networking evening for women drawn from the financial, property and legal sectors. As part of the diversity focus of the firm, CMS Partner Sally Badham, pictured in the centre of the group of women, outlined how the organisation builds capabilities for individuals through its diversity groups addressing ethnicity, religion and gender. HM Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE delivered the keynote speech which addressed breaking through barriers and public service, among other topics. The highlight of the evening was a wine tasting session where conversation flowed as freely as sips of the selected wine. ‘I enjoyed meeting the experienced and the young professional women,’ Peaches observed. ‘I am always delighted to meet people eager to make their positive contributions to our business communities and neighbourhoods.’
