Frances thanks Mama Bear's Day Nursery for sponsoring her gorilla, and Burges Salmon who bought him at The Auction on 29 September 2011 for £6 500. I think he has gone to a good home!

Bert bought by Burges Salmon

Smiley Bert in anticipation of being bought and going to a welcoming new home
I got a very nice email on Monday  from a partner at the Bristol law firm Burges Salmon, saying that she had bought Bert at the auction on behalf of the firm.  She said that all the staff are very excited; but not as excited as her 7 year old son.

I have been invited to be interviewed for the in-house newsletter and to meet Bert when he arrives at his new home.

Thanks to Burges Salmon for buying Bert for £6.5K, and for offering him a new home!  All money to go to Ape conservation and The Wallace & Gromit Grand Appeal in aid of Bristol Children's Hospital.

    This is brilliant news Fran... so lovely of them to contact you and invite you to go and see Bert and to be in their newsletter. Hope you have fun doing both :~)

    I am so happy that Bert will be in Bristol, and that you are going to see him in his new home :o)
