🎁 Did you know the origins of Boxing Day are a bit of a mystery? One popular theory suggests it stems from a time when churches would open their alms boxes after Christmas to distribute donations to the poor. Another theory links it to the tradition of wealthy families giving boxed gifts to their servants on the day after Christmas. Whatever its roots, Boxing Day is now a time for relaxation and spending time with loved ones. #BoxingDay #FunFact #HolidayTrivia

About us
Outset Group offers a creative and intelligent response to the complexity of business strategy, risk and compliance. We are a progressive business services group including a solicitor practice providing organisations with an integrated blend of legal, consulting and safety solutions. We believe that there is a better way to deliver business services, especially legal services. Since 2002, we have been doing things differently, challenging the status quo, and asking the important question: Why? Why are services delivered in this way? Why are business advisory and legal firms structured as they are? And most importantly: Why is the client coming to us, and what is it they actually want? We believe our advice, whether legal, business consultancy, HR or safety shouldn’t be given in a vacuum. It should be provided with a rounded view of the pressures and considerations facing our clients. It should be practical, proportionate, balanced and, of course, useful. It should add real value and be advice – not just a list of options. We love technology and use it wherever we can. We want dealing with us to be as easy, straightforward and worthwhile. That’s our vision, if it sounds like yours, it would be great to talk.
