Public holidays for next 2 years: All you need to know

If you could spend the holidays anywhere in the world, where would it be? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Was lovely to attend the Industry Capability Network's 40th birthday celebrations last week! It was great to be able to chat with so many people about the great value of supporting our local businesses and industries.  ICN plays a great role in connecting government, industry and business, creating jobs and increasing our financial and social economic prosperity.  It's such a good news story and it shows the key to success is collaboration.  Thank you, ICN for all you do, and thank you Ed Husic MP for speaking on the night about the value of our domestic businesses and industries. At a time when there is much scrutiny (and rightly so) over the use of consultants, it's important to understand that consultancy businesses are also an important player in our economic prosperity and that valuable consulting is undertaken everyday by businesses and individuals who give their expertise to government, and who share skills and knowledge to ensure they leave every team and every project/program better than they found them/it.  In the want to condem consultants and hold government contract managers to account, let's be careful we don't destroy an industry by making an environment where SMEs can't compete. I look forward to considered conversations on the use of consultants as we move into the election.

On Friday we celebrated our Old Mill annual Christmas Party at the Webbington Hotel & Spa 🎄   Off the back of this and as the year draws to a close, it made me think about what my role has taught me this year:   💭 Every client is different – whilst the rules and regulations may be the same, the factors that determine that situation differ from client to client. 💭 Not every prospect has to be won – every prospect has different needs, and remember to value your work and more importantly your price. If it is meant to be, it will be. 💭 Embrace the silence – I used to feel like in meetings I had to fill silences and that they were really bad, silences can be good, they help process the information we deliver. 💭 Forget your mistakes, but remember the lesson it taught you – no matter how many years we've been in the industry, every day is a school day, if something doesn't go well, put it out of your mind, but never forget what it taught you. 💭 Delegate and use your resources – you can't do it all at once! I'm lucky to be a part of a great team, we're a team for a reason and sharing the load helps develop others, whilst keeping a good balance on workloads. 💭 Always take time to reflect – What went well? What didn't work? Like the point above, knowledge is best grown on reflection and there will be far more opportunities to go again.   Personally, I have also qualified as a Chartered Accountant and bought my first home this year, so a year full of wins. I hope 2024 has been a fruitful year for you all too.   Happy Christmas and a restful New Year to my colleagues and clients, and here's to 2025! ❄️ #smallbusiness #accountant

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! May your holidays be balanced and your New Year be profitable! #NewYearReadiness #SuccessAhead #lacreativemarketing #estesscpas #NewYearGoals #AccountingSolutions #SuccessIn2022 #FinancialPlanning #NewBeginnings #TopOfTheLine #SuccessfulYear #BusinessSuccess #FinancialSuccess #NewYearNewYou
