Charity Golf Day

The 3rd Allen Tomas & Co Financial Management Ltd Charity Golf day was held on Friday 14th September at Heacham Manor.

Organisers and Directors Ben Allen and Michael Crisp said "We had a fantastic day, the weather held and all that entered enjoyed the Golf and the well deserved hog roast afterwards. We are delighted to announce we raised £2,100. This will be split equally between the Norfolk Hospice and the Stroke Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital (West Raynham Patient and Equipment Fund). We chose the charities based on experience of personal family treatment from the QE staff and our recent visit to the Norfolk Hospice’s purpose built facility at Hillington, which has cemented our admiration of what has been achieved here during the 5 years of our ongoing charitable support".

The format for the golf event was team friendly Texas Scramble, which all the guests enjoyed thoroughly. First place went to Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors led by Chris Dewey, second place to Home Instead Senior Care led by Tom McEwan and third place to Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors II led by James Macwhirter. Special mention goes to Cliff Kendle, Sally Sketcher, Dave Smith and Steve Leman for all winning E H Prior & Sons vouchers for their longest drive and nearest the pin success.

Ben and Michael, would like to thank summer intern Molly Sands and employees Chloe Drew and Lisa Perkins for their support, Heacham Manor (in particular Edd Howes and Karren) for its co-operation and all those who took part including the following companies for their donations and support; Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors, Home Instead Senior Care, Interestates Europe, James Johnson & Co, Agrifac UK and Michael Moore of Broadside Finance Ltd.

Managing Director Ben Allen graduates

Managing Director, Ben Allen attended the Personal Finance Society graduation ceremony on Friday 20 April 2018, as a result of achieving Chartered Status. Ben explains "The event was held at 20 Aldermanbury, London, EC2V 7HY which is the Head Office of the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Personal Finance Society. It was a beautiful day in the city of London and the building itself is fascinating. Over a thousand years ago Aldermanbury was the home of Kings. Rumour has it that the Insurance Hall stands on a site originally occupied by a Saxon Palace, but we know for certain that a medieval manor house occupied the site, which by the 14th Century had become an Inn called 'The Axe' (the commercial sign of The Axe, which originally hung outside the Inn in 1698, is today situated above the entrance to the CII museum on the second floor landing!) In 1932 the Chartered Insurance Institute was in urgent need of accommodation and so purchased the site (which was by then...

Inflation

United Kingdom Inflation Rate 1989-2018 The UK consumer price inflation eased to 3 percent in December 2017 from a near six-year high of 3.1 percent in the previous month, as widely expected.

Inflation Rate in the United Kingdom averaged 2.58 percent from 1989 until 2017, reaching an all-time high of 8.50 percent in April of 1991 and a record low of -0.10 percent in April of 2015. Consumer prices index (CPI) is the government's preferred measure of inflation. It is used for international comparison and the government inflation target for the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee. It is available as an index from January 1997, with estimates back to 1988. It excludes mortgage interest payments and council tax. As of the 2010 budget, CPI as part of the triple-lock, is used to index state pensions in place of RPI. Why is inflation important? Keep...
