Fourteen traders had stalls at Wright Hassall’s market at their offices in Olympus Avenue on Tuesday December 7, selling everything from wines and jewellery to delicious cakes.

Around 150 staff attended the event, which was held as part of celebrations to mark the firm’s 175th anniversary this year, while also spreading festive cheer.
