Welcome to The Globe
In this issue we’re taking a look at whether the significant dividends we've seen this summer are set to stay, and some important changes to take into account when pension planning. There’s also a helpful update on Capital Gains Tax along with a look at whether the Lasting Power of Attorney system will be updated to go digital.
In addition, as something of a 'time out', our friends at Lightfoot Travel have shared some breathtaking experiences of their adventures in Africa and we've met with the Cotswold Distillery, one of the few distilleries in the UK producing English whisky.
Until next time,
Jeremy Woodley
CEO

Traditionally companies had a clear directive – to maximise profits with a priority on the interests of shareholders. Today the landscape has shifted significantly with the importance of other stakeholders, ethical practices and corporate social responsibility now of equal importance.
David Pugh, our CEO Elect, explains where this improved approach originated and how it relates to our own activities.
