We are grateful both as a business and individuals that we ’ ve thrived over this last year . With the pandemic still raging and change being thrown at businesses throughout the year , we know how fortunate we are .
Currently , success takes many forms in business , for some it will be about survival , for some about maintenance and for others it ’ s been about growth . We are fortunate that it has been growth for us .
I would like to thank my team for their hard work and dedication over the last 12 months and we ’ re ready for all that 2022 may bring . Five highlights of 2021 have been :
• New staff and promotions – this year the Haines Watts Swindon family has grown by eight , with a team now of 25 and several staff have been promoted .
|
• Support – being able to help hard-hit clients plan and manage finances so they have been able to survive has been hard work yet hugely fulfilling .
• Celebration – it ’ s also been inspirational to support some clients with high growth because their services have been in demand and to help them navigate this .
• Collaboration – 2021 saw the launch of Haines Watts Employer Services , where trusted experts in different yet aligned business disciplines have come together to provide holistic support to businesses . This includes HR and recruitment services , business coaching and employment law with other services coming onstream in 2022 .
|
• Community & charity – the pandemic has not only hit the business community , it brought serious challenges for organisations in the not for profit sector . Haines Watts has continued to support not-for-profit clients this year and continues to give back where possible . This has included sponsoring a fundraising golf day at Wrag Barn for the charity Hft which supports young people with learning difficulties and the Swindon Christmas Toy Appeal providing a Covid-safe collection point for new toys to go to 100s of children in the town who face a very bleak Christmas .
I would like to wish all TBE readers and contributors a happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year .
