Williams Tarr celebrated 99 years of trading with their traditional Anniversary Dinner at Warrington Golf Club. The event was attended by almost 50 professionals; a sociable mix of distinguished construction and property clients and consultants.

Williams Tarr M.D. David Wilkinson opened proceedings by welcoming everyone and thanked them for their friendship and support. He was pleased to report that the firm’s order book was healthy, however there was a constant need to keep the pipeline well fed.

Once again, the guest speaker was Professor Patrick Minford C.B.E., the eminent economist who was a leading financial adviser to Margaret Thatcher. Patrick is an expert on the financial aspects of Brexit and his talk concentrated on the hot topics of “Brexit – What Next?”  and “Deal or No Deal”.

Patrick’s presentation was, as ever, entertaining and thought provoking. Guests included the proverbial Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman, ensuring that the emotive Brexit topic led to the evening being rounded off with an amusing and lively Q&A session.

Next year’s Williams Tarr Anniversary  Dinner promises to be a major event to commemorate the company’s Centenary.
