It's all about supporting, developing and promoting talent
here at Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment and we are not stopping for
Christmas. A few weeks ago we approached the head of Abbott
Community Primary School in Collyhurst, Manchester to see if they
could use a new football kit and from their response looks like our
timing was perfect.

It was great to see
Aina Khan in the Manchester Evening News this week. Aina was
