It is time for another update.

The hopelessly mistitled Freedom Day has come and gone.

Satis (and Hillier Hopkins) have decided to make few changes despite the changed (and changing) advice from government.

Our colleagues are coming to our office a little more regularly but for the time being still predominantly working from home.

We are able to welcome clients to our Pall Mall office (and Watford and Milton Keynes if they are more convenient) while still observing careful best practice.

I must say that I am hugely enjoying being back in the office and meeting clients and colleagues face to face. Zoom has been brilliant but it has nothing on proper face to face meetings.

We will in time be encouraging all colleagues back to working several days a week in the office. Details will depend on our clients’ needs.

Stock markets remain volatile. Expect plenty more of that. I write this exactly 2 years since Mr Johnson made PM. It seems to us that Brexit is far from done.

Very soon you should receive an invitation to our virtual client event on the 14th September. It will include a shameless bribe to encourage you to attend. We have no experience of how to run virtual events but we are hopeful it will be fun and informative and only an hour long.

In other good news we have managed to get the Satis logo on one of the fabulous works of art that make up the Tusk Lion Trail, for more details please click here: https://www.tuskliontrail.com/

The people involved do not want any publicity but they are connected to Ross so thank you Ross. If you are in town do track these exhibits down – they are beautiful and the underlying cause is excellent.

We will forward more details of the artist who has been assigned to Satis shortly and will share images of the Lion itself and more from the trail as we have them.

Finally, a word of thanks. We have just signed off last year’s accounts. We were pretty trepidatious in April 2020. In the end, financially at least, we had a fine year. That is thanks to you. Thank you

Ben
