Law firm Blake Morgan has been shortlisted for a prestigious award for a campaign aimed at making a difference to its local community.


The Reading firm is on a shortlist of five companies for the Best Community Engagement category in the 2015 MPF Awards for Management Excellence.


The awards, run by the Managing Partners’ Forum, highlight outstanding achievement by management in strategy, leadership, client experience, operational excellence and responsible business practices.

Blake Morgan has been shortlisted for its Making a Difference campaign which saw employees band together for a host of fundraising and community activities throughout 2014.

They include the mentoring of young and unemployed people who are looking to enter the world of work, a commitment to sustainability through green initiatives, and employees’ efforts to support the community through key roles with local organisations.

Under the Making a Difference banner, the firm raised funds for local charities through a host of events including fun days, bake sales and even a dancing competition.

Individual members of staff also took on sporting challenges to raise money for Thames Valley charities.

Blake Morgan will find out if it has won the award at a black tie gala dinner and awards ceremony to be held at the London Marriott hotel in Grosvenor Square on Wednesday, March 11.

Mike Wilson, regional senior partner for the Thames Valley at Blake Morgan, said: “We believe that it is our responsibility to give something back to the communities in which we live and work – and in the past 12 months, our staff have embraced that more than ever under the Making a Difference banner.”
