The award-winning firm has been involved in supporting water polo in the South West Region for a number of years and is one of the Exeter WP Club’s main sponsors. Michelmores also supported Devon County ASA joint junior men’s training camp in Hungary in 2008 when 39 players competed in the annual Turbo Cup in Szeged.
