Back
The summer holidays are in full swing, and our office seems to be a rotating door of people going on and coming back from their annual leave. Nothing quite beats the atmosphere of an office full of people who are feeling recharged and refreshed after a well-deserved break in the sunshine.
There’s still just as much work going on as there is play, however. This month, Katherine Pautard and Julian Gilbert returned to Beechwood Park School to deliver an educational session around finance, careers, online safety, and scams, as part of the school’s Elev8 programme. They delivered a session there last year too, and just as before the pupils were very engaged and asked lots of great questions. This time, Katherine and Julian were also joined by our newest addition to the financial planning team, Audra Sakaliene – we’ll introduce you to her later on in this newsletter.
We also enjoyed one of our regular Team Days just last week. These are an excellent opportunity for us to bond as a team, share learnings across the business, and make sure that everybody is aligned towards our goals. In this newsletter, we have plenty to share with you.
First we’ll touch on the topic of property – namely, whether it is still a good investment. Following this, we have a bumper Team News section. We’ll introduce you to Audra, our newest team member, before sharing pictures from our recent office refurb. Then, we’ll hear from Chris Karunaratne, who recently joined us on work experience, before sharing an update on our upcoming charity bike ride. All rounded off, as ever, with Toby’s Tales.
We hope you enjoy this newsletter.
