Robert’s Surprise Party 17 April 2008

WW threw a surprise party for Robert’s 50th birthday at Sartoria, which was attended by everyone at WW and some of Robert’s friends. A cocktail was created in Robert’s honour, a “Roberto Royale”, which naturally contained Amaretto and champagne. Robert’s party moved on to El Pirata for tapas and sangria and the hardier members of the party then went to 50.”

WW/AR Five A Side Competition 12 July 2007

Wilkinson Williams once again sponsored the 2007 Accessible Retail Five a Side Competition, which was held at Goals Soccer Centre in Wembley on Thursday 12 July 2007 and attracted a total of 16 teams, who competed in a series of mini-leagues. There were some very tight games, including British Land's thrilling 2-1 victory over industry rivals Henderson Global Investors, with the winning goal scored in the last minute by Andrew Jones.

Congratulations go to Castlemore who ran out winners in the main cup competition, beating GVA Grimley after a nail biting penalty shoot-out, watched by a capacity crowd, who were now enjoying a well deserved beer and BBQ. Macquarie Global Property Advisors beat The Junction in the final of the plate competition.

Thanks to all those who took part. The event has been provisionally booked for next year on 10 July 2008."

WW at the Races4 August 2006

Wilkinson Williams closed their office for their annual trip to the races at Goodwood and, as you will see from the photos, it was a case of “Men in Beige”! Our new boy, David Mac, was one of the lucky winners this year, along with Phelpsy (who blew it all at the end) and our accountant, Tony. Those who weren’t so lucky at the bookies enjoyed the day regardless, enjoying the sunshine, Pimms, champagne……”

Palmer Sport Driving Day14 August 2006

Wilkinson Williams hosted 13 clients at the Palmer Sport racetrack at Bedford Autodrome for a fast, furious and fun packed day of thrills and a few spills!

New York Marathon 2nd November 2003

Paul Simpson's New York Marathon Memoires:

Got back safe and sound with not so much as a blister but some great memories. If you can handle the training it is definitely worth giving it a go. Everything went to plan (other than the very warm weather - 75 degrees) and I finished in 3hrs 44 mins .

Checkout the results page for my split times and a virtual re-run of my race, http://www.nycmarathon.org/news/index.html ie. if you are that interested - having put in my name and seen my stats, go to course simulation and you can see how it went and by adding another runner such as Sean Combs ie P.Diddy/Puff Daddy you'll see how I left him eating my dirt - GOOD JOB as they say in the States.

Firstly thank you all for your sponsorship support - it really did keep me going and will raise circa £8,000 + Gift Aid ie £10,000
