Our team completed the Edale Skyline challenge for Prader-Willi Syndrome Association UK! ⛰️

Setting off at 6am and not getting home until 10.30pm made for one very long day, but it was absolutely worth it. After walking for over 12 hours, covering more than 21 miles with 3,674ft of ascent – it’s safe to say the team’s legs were feeling it the next day!

Luckily the weather was on their side and, as you can see from these photos, they were treated to some truly amazing views along the way.

They may have faced plenty of blisters, and a few boggy patches after plenty of rainfall the day before, but nothing could dampen their spirits as they have raised over £1,000 for the amazing work of PWSA UK!

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, there is still time to show your support here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/edaleskyline4pws

Julie Burton recently received some lovely flowers from the team at YouTeachMe Ltd for her support on their IAR Report.

Paul Rose, Managing Director of YouTeachME Ltd said “Julie provided exceptional support on our recent IAR report. She patiently helped me compile complex information and went well beyond standard professionalism to ensure timely submission, helping us avoid costly clawbacks from IUK. Her selflessness and dedication were impressive and unexpected. I'm grateful for her outstanding work.”

Thank you Paul, and a huge well done Julie! 👏

Our amazing team is lacing up their walking boots for an incredible cause!

On 21 September, we’ll be taking on the gruelling Edale Skyline Challenge, an epic 20-mile hike with over 1,100 meters of ascent, all to raise vital funds for Prader-Willi Syndrome Association UK, our firm's charity of the year.

Prader-Willi Syndrome affects 1 in 15,000 births and presents lifelong challenges, including developmental difficulties and an insatiable appetite that can lead to serious health risks without proper support. This cause is especially close to our hearts as one of our colleagues has a sibling living with PWS.

PWSA UK provides life-changing resources, expert support, and a caring community for families navigating this condition. Every pound raised makes a real difference.

⛰️The Challenge Ahead

20 miles. 1,100+ meters of ascent. One incredible team ready to push their limits for an amazing cause. Can you help us reach our goal? Every donation, no matter the size, brings hope and support to families affected by PWS.

You can donate here👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/edaleskyline4pws

Best of luck to our team taking part: Olivia Pell, Scott Buck, Steph Eldridge, David Owen, Sam Millington, Jonathon Williamson and Leigh Bird.

What an incredible evening with our Ashgates director community! 🥂

Last week, past and present directors of Ashgates gathered to share stories, insights, and (many) laughs.

With over 280 years of collective experience around the table, the conversation was nothing short of inspiring!

There's nothing quite like recognition from a valued client! 🙏

We recently received the most wonderful card and gifts from a client, thanking our team for three decades of "fantastic service and support" as they head into a well-deserved retirement.

Moments like these remind us why we love what we do - building lasting partnerships and being trusted advisors throughout our clients' business journeys.

Congratulations to Dawn and Jason on their retirement, and thank you for 30 amazing years together!
