Willans repaints history with university’s school of art & design

Some of our lawyers took a tour of the School of Art & Design Degree Show at the University of Gloucestershire Hardwick Campus last Friday to present cheques to a number of its second-year students.

Our managing partner Bridget Redmond handed cheques to students who will use the money to put towards funding an art trip to Paris or on materials in exchange for the firm exhibiting pieces of art in one of its newly decorated meeting rooms at Imperial Square.

Before the artwork finds its home at Willans, some pieces will be displayed in a summer exhibition at The Wilson, Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum.

Students Weronika Wisz and Paul White pictured with art lecturer Bob Davison and Willans’ managing partner Bridget Redmond at the degree show.

Bob Davison, senior lecturer of art at the University of Gloucestershire, said: “Willans were one of the first businesses to support us back in the early 1990s with the art loan scheme which spanned over 12 or so years. It’s great to have them supporting us once more, and for us to demonstrate the talent our students bring to the business community.”
