Huw Reynolds, ATEB Director, recently presented a cheque for £1,000 to Porfield Social Activity Centre (near Huw’s home village in Pembrokeshire). The centre provides support to adults with learning difficulties and helps to integrate them into the community.
The funds were raised by Huw’s charity bike ride from Whitehaven to Tynemouth.
A further cheque for approximately £1,000 will be given to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Thank you to everybody who donated to both these worthy causes.

Readers will be aware that the firm in question received an unsolicited request from a supervisor at the FCA to provide a very considerable amount of data and […]
In its numerous publications prior to the implementation of Consumer Duty, the FCA promised that it would be more proactive and take a forward looking view, rather than acting with the benefit of hindsight – something for which it has received criticism previously. We’ve been waiting to see how this would pan out and didn’t […]

If you ask most advice firms which part of the advice process consumes the most time, most will reply: “Suitability Reports”.
