Hosted at the beginning of February at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham, McDermotts held their annual Celebration Evening, whereby recognising the efforts of all colleagues throughout the past year and an opportunity to thank everyone.

The evening included a sit-down meal, entertainment from a live band and Irish Dancers, whilst a key moment was the charity raffle to raise money in support of local charities. Attendees at the celebration dinner had the opportunity to win one of six cash prizes, in return for their charitable donation.

The total amount raised on the evening was £2,305, and with matched funding from McDermotts, the grand total being donated to local charities will be £4,610.
