CBSbutler's Christmas Party

The CBSbutler team came together to celebrate the festive season at the stunning Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey. It was a fantastic evening filled with great company, plenty of holiday spirit and a well-deserved celebration of or team’s hard work throughout the year!

Delivering Donations of Clothes and Toys to Stripey Stork

We also had the privilege of supporting our charity partner, Stripey Stork , just before Christmas. Laura Fitzgerald and Samantha Murphy delivered our donations of clothes and toys to the charity, which provides vital support to families in Surrey. It’s fantastic to contribute to such an important cause, especially during the holiday season.
