Game, (Re)Set & Match?

It seemed rather fitting that on the day Solomon’s bid farewell to our office in SW20, Andy Murray bid a tearful farewell to the green grass of SW19 (not to mention it was also the day we had a changing of the guard in parliament … but that’s a blog for Dominic to write!)

I met Andy well over a decade ago (before he won the coveted Wimbledon championship trophy) and he was a really down to earth guy.  I was relieved to see that despite fame and fortune, during his post match interview after his foray into the doubles tournament with his brother Jamie, he seems to have retained that ‘average Joe’ attitude to life.

I wish him well for the future and I feel confident that he will remain in the public eye in the sport that he loves, but I actually wanted to talk to you about our office move to the leafy village of Cobham in Surrey.

As much as we loved our office in Raynes Park (it was the firm’s home for 17 years), we had started to outgrow it. And growth is a good thing! Our new space in Cobham is a wonderful place surrounded by nature and shrouded in the history of the area. You can read about ‘The Old Mill’ here.

Just like Mr Murray, it will take us a little time to adapt to new routines and arrange things so that the new office feels like ours, but it opens up new opportunities for us as a firm providing a more flexible space for us to be creative and productive.

As with all change – there is a feeling of having a ‘reset’ … it’s why I love Mondays so much (and the first page of a new notebook!). The team here don’t all necessarily agree with me about ‘the Monday thing’ but there is a freshness about starting something new – the novelty factor – that gives us an extra spring in our step and a little more focus.

We are hopeful that as we move forward in our new ‘home’, we will continue to do better and to challenge ourselves as we aim for excellence in everything we do for you.

We would love to welcome you to our new offices in the coming months – whether it’s for a meeting with one of our advisers or just for a coffee and a chat!
