Staff benefits update
18 Feb 2015
This week’s issue has offers for the Whitworth Art Gallery shop, useful discounts for your home and family and the winners of the Venus Flowers competition
Whitworth Art Gallery Shop – 10% discount
The Whitworth reopened last weekend to great acclaim and also re-launched a new and expanded shop. At its heart is a new concept in museum and gallery retail: a shop where everything, whether £1 or £100, has a limited run. Items sold at the Whitworth have been carefully sourced, are often made by artisan producers, reveal superb craftsmanship and reflect the modern, minimalist design aesthetic that visitors to the Whitworth will see in its new glass and steel extension. You can receive 10% discount when showing your staff ID card. Find out more here.

Irwin Mitchell
As well as making life easier for your dependants, making a will can help reduce the tax payable. Your will tells everyone what should happen to your money, possessions and property after you die. If you don’t leave a will, the law decides how your estate is passed on – and this may not be in line with your wishes. Irwin Mitchell Solicitors are a top UK law firm who are specialists in this legal area and are offering a discounted rate on their will writing service that could help give you peace of mind.
