In-person meetings are back!

We’ve noticed more and more of you are choosing to meet with us in person at our Cobham office – and we couldn’t be happier. After all, it’s always better to see you in person than through a screen!

After chatting with clients who’ve made the trip, one thing has become clear: there’s real value in getting together face-to-face. So, we thought we’d share a little summary of why we think it’s worth it.

The feedback has been fantastic. Clients have told us that in-person meetings feel more productive, more relaxed and often more focused. We can explore ideas in greater depth, answer questions as they come up and leave with everyone on the same page. Sometimes we get through more than we expected… and sometimes we realise less is needed. Either way, it’s time well spent.

We know life is busy; your time is valuable; and sometimes a quick Zoom or Teams call is exactly what’s needed. We’re always happy to meet that way when it’s the most convenient option.

But if you can make it into the office, we really do think it’s worth it.

Some things simply can’t be replicated on a video call. There’s a different energy when you’re sitting around the same table. Conversations flow more naturally, ideas bounce around more freely and it’s often easier to pick up on the little things that make a big difference. It’s also a great opportunity to strengthen relationships and have the kind of conversations that aren’t always comfortable online.

And let’s be honest … we’ve all been there. The “Can you hear me?” moments. Someone’s frozen mid-sentence. The internet drops out. You’re talking on mute for two minutes before anyone notices. Meeting in person means none of that – just good conversation and productive time together.

If you haven’t visited us before, we’d love to welcome you to our Cobham office. We’ll make sure the coffee is on, you’re well looked after and you have everything you need for a productive meeting.

Whether you choose to meet online or in person, we’re here to make things as easy as possible. But if you have the opportunity to visit us, we’d love to see you!

INTERESTED IN HIGHER INTEREST ACCOUNTS?

TODAY’S BLOG

ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED?

The last year or so has seen enormous improvements in technology. Thankfully the money management technology is one of those elements that has improved.

Hunting for a decent interest rate is hard enough at the moment, but moving to a new better account once the rate has come to an end is a constant frustration due to the effort required and all the hurdles of proving your identity. As a result, most savers languish in poor accounts, earning next to diddly squat.

If you consider that your savings at a UK Bank or Building Society is only protected to the first £85,000 under FSCS rules, then balances that are larger give some concern, particularly when life feels somewhat uncertain.

MAKING MONEY MANAGEMENT EASIER

I’m pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Akoni, one of several cash management providers. They have branded the site with our logo – its their kit and service. I decided to remove any payments that we might get to your advantage. This is very self-service, but we can assist if you get stuck.

There are other solutions, this is aimed at those with cash savings of more than £85,000 – so not for everyone, but you can get rates of interest that others with much larger balances enjoy.

The aim of all these services is to make life easier for you, getting you better rates of interest. Its not free, no bank provides a free service (think about it – or ask if you still don’t understand). The Cash Management service company (Akoni in this instance) make a small charge which I believe is worth paying for the convenience.
