Welcome to May's edition of LiveWire.

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know about a new service that we are launching in conjunction with Wokingham based solicitors Charles Platel.

We are conscious that many business owners are working an average of 60 hours a week keeping their businesses afloat, leaving no time to dedicate to ensuring their personal affairs are in order.

Furthermore the difficult economic climate and recent tax rises have done nothing to ease the burden on businesses and their owners.

We have therefore joined forces with Charles Platel to offer fixed price, joined up, tax and legal services as well as having one of their team at our Thames Ditton offices to assist our clients with any legal issues they may have.

Please contact Lesley Stalker, Simon Paterson or Paul Webb on 0870 2255220 for more information or read our press release here.
