Charity 10k Run

Following the success of last year’s 10k run for charity, early in July the team at Raymond James, John Street once again made their way (at varying speeds) around Regent’s Park, taking part in the annual Citywire 10k charity run.

Andy, Ed, Stuart and Latrena all ran the course and we are delighted to have raised £4,000 for two charities, Alzheimer’s Society and Macmillan Cancer Support.  In total there were 256 runners taking part, helping Citywire raise an amazing £28,000 in total for the two charities.

We are all very happy to be able to play a small part in raising so much money for two fantastic charities and look forward to doing more in the coming months.

Women in Finance Awards 2019 – Latrena Petkova makes the final shortlist

We are delighted to announce that Latrena Petkova has made the final shortlist for the ‘Women of the Year awards – Paraplanning’ in the ‘Professional Adviser – Women in Finance Awards 2019’.

As those who know Latrena will testify, she has worked tirelessly over the past year or so to help build our proposition and without her, it goes without saying we would not be in the position we currently are.

Latrena is an integral part of our offering and thoroughly deserves this nomination.  She is a credit not just to Women in Finance, but to our profession in general.  We wish her every success in the final on July 3rd.

Fingers crossed!
