A European deal

Join Forster Dean and see the world - that seems to be the message coming out of the Liverpool firm run by sole principal Peter Forster Dean.

Last month, staff who had been with the practice since it opened a decade ago were treated to a day trip to Prague for lunch.

But those staff who felt left out did not have long to wait for their turn to come.

Two days before Christmas, 55 of Forster Dean's 65 staff (pictured) were taken to Amsterdam to celebrate the tenth anniversary.

A day of 'cultural experiences' was enjoyed by all - whether that's code for the experiences Amsterdam is most famous for is anyone's guess - and rumours around Liverpool suggest that the next anniversary celebration will see staff jetting off to Sydney in Australia.

Sadly, for those who are rushing to apply for jobs at the firm, this event will be to celebrate Forster Dean's centenary.
