It was great to attend the Harrogate Beer Festival 🍻

Earlier this month and a brilliant opportunity to catch up some familiar faces and connect with other guests from across the business community.

If you run an owner-managed business, how are you retaining your best people? 🤔

Traditional approaches remain important, but as employment costs rise and the business environment becomes increasingly competitive, salary-driven incentives on their own are sometimes not enough to attract and retain the people who play a key role in driving long-term success.

Our Tax Director Daniel Andreca summaries the options available to business owners wanting to reward their senior employees by giving them a stake in the future success of the business.

For many owner-managed businesses, salary and bonus arrangements continue to form the foundation of senior management reward.

It was great to see so many new members joining the We Are Wakefield group at the event this month and how much the community continues to grow, as well as catching up with some familiar faces last week.

It was a powerful and emotional morning at Wakefield Cathedral hearing the speakers from HM Prison & YOI New Hall share their stories of turning their lives around and talking more about the power of community and kindness.

We really value being members of We Are Wakefield and the event highlighted how great it is to be part of such a strong and supportive network.

Daniel (shortlisted for Rising Star of the Year at the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards 2026) overseas all the functions of our tax department, providing practical advice that adds real value for our clients.

There was such a buzz in the room on Friday at the Insider Media Invest in Wakefield event and it was brilliant to hear so much positivity across the Wakefield district.

Our managing partner Ian Parsons joined one of two expert panels to talk more about what the skills, financing and business growth needs are for start-ups and SMEs alongside Karen Starkey, Lorraine Cross and Abby Cook.

There was some fantastic engagement from the audience, which led to conversation about how AI can influence your business strategy over the next 12 months. And, it was great to get more of an insight from Wakefield Council about its ambitions for the Cathedral Quarter.

We’re looking forward to the Wakefield Expo in March!
