Opening a new office in the midst of a pandemic lockdown is a challenge, but not necessarily a knock-out blow.

Just ask the team at Lancashire firm Alexander Grace Law, who have this month stepped up a weight division to expand with a new office in Blackpool.

As part of the official opening, the firm spent months securing a big-hitter to cut the ribbon, only for their plans to hit the ropes with the current lockdown in place.

Still, the show must go on. So last Friday the firm managed to mark the occasion with a video message from world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, recorded from his home. Fury congratulated the firm on its new premises and said he hoped to see the staff soon. The firm posted the video on social media and encouraged everyone to enjoy a glass with them in celebration.

A rematch in person with Fury is on the cards once lockdown is lifted.
