CRL staff recently came together to celebrate a remarkable milestone in the company’s history, 70 years of CRL.

The special event brought colleagues together from across the business, including team members who travelled from as far as Australia, to reflect on CRL’s journey since its founding in 1955. The evening provided an opportunity to celebrate the company’s achievements, recognise the people behind its success, and enjoy time together outside of the workplace.

The celebration featured everything needed for a memorable occasion, including drinks, dinner, dancing, and even a casino experience. With plenty of competitive spirit at the gaming tables, impressive dance moves on display, and stories shared throughout the evening, the event proved to be a fitting tribute to seven decades of success.

A highlight of the evening was the opportunity to support important charitable causes. Thanks to the generosity of staff and attendees, an estimated £7,000 was raised through a raffle, with proceeds being shared between Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation, and St Raphael’s Hospice.

Reaching 70 years in business is a significant achievement, made possible through the support of loyal clients, dedicated employees, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to excellence.

As CRL marks this important chapter in its history, the company looks ahead to the future and the next stage of its journey.
