A top law firm delighted their staff during sunny weather - by hiring an ice cream van offering free 99s.

Eversheds, which has offices all over the UK including in London, treated staff in the Cambridge office to free ice creams as temperatures soared.

One of the firm’s senior partners hired the van and the company footed the bill, they confirmed today.

An Eversheds spokeswoman said: “Our Cambridge office senior partners do go round with sweets or other treats every couple of months.

“As you’d imagine, the ice creams were welcomed.”

Towards the end of last month parts of the UK basked in a heatwave, with London recording the hottest night in a decade as temperatures stayed above 22C all night.

The Eversheds lawyers at their Cambridge office, on Station Road, would surely have appreciated the refreshing cones as they sweltered in their suits and formalwear.

The firm’s spokeswoman added they are not sure whether the ice cream van stunt will be repeated. She added: “Or whether we’d have the right weather!”.

The law firm, whose London office is in Wood Street, also has bases in Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester and Belfast.
