A WARRINGTON-based legal company has marked its 25-year milestone since opening by donating £25,000 to various charities, organisations and projects across the UK.

X-Press Legal Services, in Birchwood, has grown to be the largest independent provider of property searches and reports for conveyancers in the country.

Lynne Lister, managing director, wanted the fund to support as many charities and good causes in as many areas as possible and decided that the best way was through their franchise network of 28 locally owned offices.

Each office has already handed out various donations, as well as involvement in a number of local projects such as musical instruments for a primary school, kit for a youth football team, food for a pet sanctuary and a donation to a cancer charity, with much more to come.

“We are delighted to be celebrating 25 years of X-Press Legal Services and have enjoyed every minute,” Lynne said.

“We have always given to charities and organisations, but this year as part of celebrating our quarter-century, we were thinking big. Our £25,000 charity campaign is our opportunity to help even more causes across the UK.”

“Our franchisees have really got behind the campaign in their local areas.

“With some doing extra fundraising activities, as well as supporting various local projects and they have been giving throughout the year. We can’t wait to see what our final figure is at the end of the year.”

Franchising has been a key factor in the growth of the X-Press Group, providing opportunities for franchisees to build successful businesses.

Having the local knowledge and the quality of service has ‘really set the business apart’.

As they look back on 25 years, the company expresses its excitement about the future and the innovative ideas that will pave the next 25 years.
