Set in Morton Fraser's Edinburgh and Glasgow offices, our Banking and Finance clients braved the horrible weather and dark nights for three evenings of food, drinks and entertainment. The receptions provided Bankers and Lawyers alike with the perfect opportunity both to catch up with long standing contacts and put faces to all those new names at the end of countless emails.

Entertainment came in the form of a live band and three collections of work from the students of the Edinburgh College of Art. Resident Quartet, Midnight Soul, from the University of Edinburgh Jazz Orchestra supplied a rich variety of jazz standards and original material while our guests were invited to browse, and even purchase, work from the Painting, Sculpture and Illustration programmes of the ECA. Comprising pieces in a range of styles and media, Morton Fraser were delighted to offer the college's young students valuable experience of exhibiting their work and the events benefitted enormously from the thought-provoking backdrop engendered by such a diverse collection.

Susan and the Banking and Finance teams would like to extend their warmest thanks to all who attended our annual drinks; it was a great chance to build further personality into our already rewarding professional relationships and we very much look forward to continuing our work with you in the coming year.
