A local law firm was the proud sponsor of a recent event at Cockermouth CC, which saw the PCA England Masters visiting the club. The event was hosted by club alumni, England test vice-captain Ben Stokes, and was sponsored by Milburns Solicitors.

It offered the chance for local cricket fans to meet a number of English cricket stars, including Matthew Hoggard, Neil Fairbrother and Mark Ramprakash.

Louise Storr, business manager at Milburns Solicitors, said: “It was a fantastic day with a great turnout and a special opportunity for the local fans as they had a rare opportunity to meet the players.

“At Milburns, we have always supported local sporting events, including football and rowing events. We have also sponsored a hole at Cockermouth Golf Club for many years, as well as offering sponsorship for golfing events around the county. However, we have never ventured into cricket. As soon as we heard the England players were coming to Cockermouth, we made a very quick decision to offer our support, as we understand what a big deal it is for them to visit the local area.”

Milburns Solicitors has offices in Workington, Whitehaven, Maryport and Cockermouth, and over recent years has proudly combined its traditional roots with modern developments in technology and the legal industry.

There are also currently a number of career opportunities for dynamic individuals with excellent communication skills to join the team, with competitive salaries and benefits packages offered to the right candidates.

She added: “Many of our staff are interested in sport, and we always have a great turnout from members of the team to community events like this. New staff can look forward to joining in with team events and there are a number of new roles currently available to come and join the team at Milburns.”
