Magazine Articles

What’s In a Name

“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare asked — and then promptly answered his own question by suggesting a rose would smell as sweet by any other word.

The Importance of a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney

As we get ready for the new year, many of us focus on resolutions like improving health, learning new skills, or achieving career goals.

What It Means to be British

Dr Jeevun Sandher in front of Loughborough's Millenium Bell

This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about the benefits of a vegetable garden, and why starting it in November can be bountiful. November might not sound like the most obvious month to be out in the veg patch. The evenings […]

Planning for Care Home Fees

Last will and testament

and why gifting away assets doesn’t always work Many of our clients come to us as they are worried about their future and the potential need for them to go into a care home and pay the extremely high fees. Our clients understandably seek advice on how to protect their assets and their home from […]

Hearing and Fireworks

Fireworks

How loud is too loud? It is well known that loud noise can irreversibly damage your hearing when the delicate hair cells in the cochlea are exposed to high-intensity sounds, causing them to bend, swell and die. Damage can occur either due to continuous exposure to loud sounds or following a single extremely loud event […]
