The new headquarters of Wyre Forest law firm MFG Solicitors has
been officially opened.
Adam House, the iconic red-brick building on Kidderminster's
Birmingham Road, was opened at a ceremony on Wednesday 5th October
by VIP guest Lord Cobham and chairman of MFG, Maynard Burton. They
were joined by 260 guests from across the Midlands.
Lord Cobham, the 12th Viscount Cobham who has won plaudits for
his restoration of the county's Palladian Hagley Hall, was given a
guided tour of the refurbished offices by the firm's partners after
unveiling a commemorative plaque marking the official opening.
Around 70 of MFG's partners and staff are now based at the
1928-built, three-story building having moved in earlier this
summer. It provides 14,000 square feet of office
accommodation.
Chairman of MFG Solicitors Maynard Burton said: "Like all local
people we are immensely proud of Adam House and how the
refurbishment project has propelled it back to its former glory. It
is a magnificent building which is not only a flagship for our
firm, but a boost for Kidderminster. Adam House is already acting
as a focal point for our clients from across the region and beyond
and everyone who visits agrees how stunning it looks, both inside
and out.
"We were delighted Lord Cobham joined us for the official
opening as he has been an inspiration through his tireless work to
turn around the fortunes of Hagley Hall, one of the area's most
treasured stately homes. Having him here at Adam House helped to
underline the importance of the regeneration of Worcestershire's
historic buildings. I would like to thank him once again for his
support."
Lord Cobham added: "Adam House is spectacular and the careful
modernisation project has respected the building's countless
original features. Everyone at MFG Solicitors can be proud to be
playing their part in the next phase of the building's future. The
firm are strongly steeped in the history of the area and I can't
think of anyone more fitting than MFG to call Adam House home. I
was honoured to be part of the official opening of a building which
will contribute so much to Kidderminster and its image."
