The inaugural CTS Transport Compliance Seminar took place on the 5th November at Knight’s Hill Hotel in Kings Lynn, with speakers from CTS Training & Consultancy, JMW Solicitors and the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit.

This event was attended by around 50 professionals in the logistics industry, from transport managers and planners, business owners, directors and consultants.

The CTS Transport Compliance Seminar was a great opportunity for local transport professionals to expand their knowledge of important compliance issues, keep up with the latest industry developments, and connect with fellow businesses.

Tom Cornwell from CTS Training & Consultancy kicked off the night with the launch of CTS Companion. This new membership service from CTS offers regular support, updates and discounts to help transport operators stay on top of their fleet compliance. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about CTS Companion.

Scott Bell, Partner and Head of Commercial Road Transport from JMW Solicitors delivered a presentation on Keeping Compliant covering Traffic Commissioner powers and avoiding Public Inquiry, as well as a quick round up of ‘hot topics’ in the road transport law sector.

Finally, we heard from Robert Hardingham and Chris Leah with the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit about their role and the investigations that they carry out. They also touched on plenty of relevant subjects such as load security and bridge strikes, and also did some myth-busting of common misconceptions about their work.

In a dynamic industry like transport and logistics, it’s essential to keep up to date with industry changes and to continuously improve compliance. CTS Transport Compliance Seminars are the ideal place to stay aware of any news and also have the opportunity to ask questions to industry experts. Attendees last night certainly made the most of the speakers’ knowledge and were able to see compliance issues from both the police and the solicitor’s perspectives.

Attendees described the evening as highly informative and appreciated the interactive engagement with the speakers. Many highlighted that the combination of speakers was particularly valuable as their knowledge and experience naturally complemented each other.

Our director Craig said:

“What an outstanding first event for CTS!

I am immensely proud of our team for bringing this initiative to life and deeply appreciative of the positive feedback we received from attendees.

My sincere thanks go to our exceptional speakers for their valuable insights and contributions, which played a key role in the event’s success. We look forward to building on this momentum and hosting our next event in spring 2026.”

Thank you to Knight’s Hill Hotel for the great venue and refreshments.

The next CTS Compliance Seminar returns in the spring, where we will hear from the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit again, this time on Safe Loading.

If you want to be among the first to know about our next transport compliance seminar, get in touch to be added to our mailing list.

Inheritance Tax (IHT) can feel like a tricky or awkward topic, but a little planning now can save stress (and money) later. With new rules coming into force from April 2027, pensions and other assets that used to escape IHT may now come under the tax net. It’s a good moment to start the conversation. When you and your parents talk about this together, you’re not just sorting finances, you’re showing care, trust, and foresight.

1. Start with Understanding (Not Pressure)

Every family’s financial story is different. Begin by asking what your parents understand already, what they’ve heard, and what they worry about. The goal isn’t to lecture, but to listen and learn. You might uncover assumptions or misunderstandings you can resolve together.

2. Explain What’s Changing

Pensions into IHT

From 6 April 2027, most unused pension funds and death benefits will be included in someone’s estate for IHT purposes.

Who pays / reports

New rules propose that personal representatives (those handling the estate) will need to report and pay IHT on pension elements.

Reliefs on farms / businesses

From April 2026, the unlimited reliefs for agricultural or business property will be capped: the first £1 million gets 100% relief, above that only 50% relief.

What’s not certain yet

Legislation is still being finalised, so some details may shift.

You don’t need to cover every detail, just enough to make the shift feel real and give a frame for discussion.

3. Talk Openly About Their Wishes

Go beyond just “how much tax might we pay?” and ask questions like:

• What do you intend your legacy to look like?

• Are there people or causes you want to prioritise?

• Are there assets (e.g. pension, property, business) you’re particularly concerned about?

• How much do you want decisions now, vs leaving flexibility?

These questions help you understand values (not just numbers).

4. Explore What You Can Do Together Now

It’s not about panicking, it’s about options. Some possible steps:

• Consider drawing down pensions earlier (if cashflow allows), so that less is left unused later.

• Gifting while alive (within existing rules) may help reduce the estate.

• Review wills, trusts, beneficiary nominations to ensure they reflect updated goals.

• Seek professional advice – a financial planner or tax adviser can run “what-if” scenarios.

• Talk about what happens if health or capacity changes, so decisions aren’t left entirely for the executor.

5. Watch the Tone (It’s a Sensitive Topic)

Money and inheritance can bring up emotions – worry, guilt, loss, regret.

Keep your tone:

• Respectful – this is their life’s work and legacy

• Gentle – don’t rush, force, or freak out

• Collaborative – use words like “we”, “together”, “chat about”

• Hopeful – frame it as protecting what matters, not punishing with tax

6. Agree Next Steps (and Timing)

To avoid the conversation ending in ambiguity, try to agree on:

• A follow-up chat (e.g. in a month)

• What you’ll each do before then (e.g. gathering statements, meeting an adviser)

• A rough schedule (e.g. “in the next year we’ll review all assets and map them to current IHT rules”)

• Ending with shared action helps make it less theoretical and more real.

Building Confident Financial Futures

Talking about inheritance tax doesn’t have to be uncomfortable; it can be a way to care for each other and plan wisely. At Planit Financial, we’re here to support families having these conversations, helping you all feel confident and informed about what comes next.

It’s that time of year again; Christmas lights are twinkling, office playlists are turning festive, and businesses everywhere are planning ways to celebrate the season.

But before you start buying mince pies or sending out client gifts, it’s worth knowing which festive costs you can claim as a business expense (and which ones could land you on the naughty list with HMRC).

At Jennison Accounting, we love helping clients save money, so here’s a quick guide to what’s allowable this Christmas.

1. The Staff Christmas Party

Yes, you can absolutely claim for your staff Christmas party, as long as you follow the rules.

HMRC allows an annual staff event (like a Christmas party or summer barbecue) to be an allowable expense if:

• It’s open to all employees (not just directors or senior staff),

• It costs £150 or less per person, and

• It’s an annual event (not a one-off treat).

That £150 includes food, drink, entertainment, venue hire, and even taxis home. Just remember, go over that £150 limit by even a pound, and the whole amount becomes taxable as a benefit in kind.

2. Client Gifts and Thank-Yous

A small token of appreciation for your clients can go a long way, and sometimes, it’s tax-deductible.

You can claim for client gifts if:

• Each gift costs £50 or less,

• It’s not food, drink, or tobacco, and

• It carries a clear business branding (like your logo).

Think branded notebooks, calendars, mugs, or stationery – festive but functional.
A bottle of prosecco? Unfortunately, that’s classed as entertainment and can’t be claimed.

3. Staff Gifts and Bonuses

If you’re giving your team a little extra cheer this year, you might be able to treat them without triggering extra tax.

You can give employees a ‘trivial benefit’ worth up to £50 per person, without reporting it to HMRC, as long as it’s:

• Not cash or a cash voucher,

• Not a reward for performance, and

• Not part of their contract.

So a festive hamper, a gift card, or a bottle of wine can all count as tax-free trivial benefits. Just make sure the gift is genuinely that, a nice surprise, not a disguised bonus.

4. Decorations and Festive Touches

Want to add some sparkle to your workspace? Decorations for your office, shop, or reception area are classed as business expenses. After all, they help maintain a pleasant working environment (and boost morale, too).

5. Charity Donations

The season of giving doesn’t have to hurt your bottom line. Donations to registered charities can be claimed as a business expense, provided they’re made directly from the company (and not in return for advertising or sponsorship).

If you do get something in return, like your logo on a charity event banner, that counts as marketing instead, which is also deductible. Either way, it’s a win-win.

6. Entertaining Clients – Proceed with Caution

While staff parties are fine, client entertainment is usually not tax-deductible. Meals, drinks, or hospitality you provide to clients can’t be claimed as a business expense, even if they help you win work or strengthen relationships.

It’s a grey area many businesses trip over, so if in doubt, check with your accountant before claiming.

Make the Most of Your Festive Spending

The Christmas season is a brilliant time to thank your team, delight your clients, and spread a little goodwill, and with the right knowledge, you can do it tax-efficiently too.

At Jennison Accounting, we’re here to make your finances simple, straightforward, and stress-free, even during the busiest time of year.

If you’d like help reviewing your festive expenses (or planning for the year ahead), get in touch with the team. We’ll help you stay compliant, save money, and go into 2026 with confidence.

Brancaster House Financial Planning has been shortlisted for Small Business of the Year at the 2025 EDP Business Awards.

The awards celebrate businesses across Norfolk and Suffolk that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and real impact within their industries and communities.

A Time of Growth, Change and Purpose

It’s been a transformational period for Brancaster House. Following a successful management buyout (MBO) led by Shane Julian and Nick Halls, the firm has entered a new era.

Taking ownership of a respected, long-established firm was both a privilege and a challenge. But the goal was clear from the start: to preserve the trust Brancaster House had built over the years, while modernising the way financial advice is delivered for today’s world.

The result? A complete repositioning of the brand around the message:

“We’re Here for Every Chapter.”

This simple idea has become the foundation for everything we do. It reframes financial advice around life stages: Starting Out, Raising a Family, Empty Nesters, and Winding Down, rather than products or services. It’s a client-first philosophy that recognises that money decisions are really life decisions.

Financial Advice, Reimagined

Under Shane and Nick’s leadership, Brancaster House has made bold strides in reshaping what financial planning looks like in practice.

Our mission – financial advice for all – means we’re determined to break down barriers that have traditionally kept good advice out of reach for many.

Here’s how that’s come to life:

• The Young Professionals Pack: We recognised that many early-career professionals, freelancers and small business owners were underserved by the traditional advice model. Our low-cost Young Professionals Pack offers regulated financial planning at around 20% of typical industry fees, giving this audience the confidence to invest in their futures early.

• Client-Centred Technology: We launched a digital client portal and mobile app, giving clients real-time access to their financial data, cashflow modelling, goal tracking, and secure communication with their adviser. Financial planning can now be interactive, visual and empowering.

• Ongoing Advice, Not One-Off Service: We’ve moved away from transactional advice and towards ongoing relationships. Clients receive regular reviews, proactive recommendations and holistic planning that evolves with them through every life chapter.

• Free Community Advice Clinics: Our partnership with Priscilla Bacon Hospice provides free financial advice sessions to families navigating life-limiting illness – ensuring compassion and clarity when it’s needed most.

Each of these innovations reflects the same commitment: to make financial planning transparent, relatable and human.

Delivering Results

Innovation is only meaningful when it drives real outcomes – for both clients and the business.

Since the management buyout 18 months ago, Brancaster House has achieved measurable growth and maintained exceptional consistency:

• Client assets under advice have increased by 20%.

• Client and staff retention sits at 100%, a rare feat through a major leadership transition.

• The team has grown to nine, each person aligned to a shared vision of innovation, trust and inclusion.

• We’ve expanded our presence through regular speaking engagements at FSB, BIPC and Norfolk Chamber of Commerce events, connecting with business owners earlier in their financial journeys.

These milestones underline what’s possible when a business balances modernisation with genuine care.

Leadership with Vision and Heart

Strong leadership has been the cornerstone of Brancaster House’s success story. At just 35, Shane Julian became one of the region’s youngest managing directors in the independent financial sector. Alongside Nick Halls, 42, the pair represent a new generation of advisers – forward-thinking, relationship-driven, and deeply invested in client outcomes.

Both directors continue to be hands-on in serving clients while driving strategic innovation. Shane personally manages over £45 million in client assets – half of the firm’s total – while Nick leads on partnerships, technology, and new service development.

Their leadership style blends professionalism with approachability, creating a culture where every client feels heard and every team member feels valued.

Internally, the team environment is collaborative and progressive. 100% staff retention post-MBO is a reflection of that – people want to be part of a business that’s growing with integrity and purpose.

Rooted in Norfolk, Built for the Future

While we’re proud of our growth, we’re equally proud of our roots. Norfolk is at the heart of everything we do.

From sponsoring Hethersett Athletic Juniors (where Shane’s nephew plays!) and Old Catton Tigers, to supporting Priscilla Bacon Hospice through fundraising and volunteering – our community commitments go far beyond business.

We believe that as an independent local firm, we have a responsibility to give back, inspire confidence, and help shape a financially resilient community for generations to come.

Looking Ahead

Being shortlisted for Small Business of the Year at the EDP Business Awards 2025 is more than an accolade – it’s validation that we’re on the right path. It recognises not only our business performance, but our values, leadership and contribution to Norfolk life.

As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, our focus remains the same:

• To make financial advice more accessible and inclusive.

• To continue embracing innovation that benefits real people.

• And to keep building lifelong partnerships with our clients and community.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To our clients – thank you for trusting us with your financial journeys. To our team – thank you for your commitment, energy and belief in our vision. And to our community – thank you for cheering us on as we continue to grow, evolve and give back.

We’re honoured to be finalists, and we can’t wait to celebrate alongside so many inspiring businesses at the EDP Business Awards later this month.

Whatever the outcome, this shortlisting is proof that with the right people, principles and purpose, small businesses really can make a big impact.

For over 55 years, Voluntary Norfolk have been providing support within communities across Norfolk and Waveney.

Christmas is one of the most special times of the year for all families.

During the month of December our Light Up A Life campaign at the Hospice and in the community, will provide an opportunity for people to pause and reflect, to celebrate our families and remember those who are sadly no longer with us. Christmas is a really important time at the Hospice. Since 1998 we have been lifting the spirits of our community with community outreach at this time of year. Our Hospice tree is adorned with hand written stars from hundreds of families we have supported over the years. It is a magical moment in our calendar which carries our team of nurses through the often exceptionally busy Christmas period, caring for our patients and families. Wherever our patients visit in the Hospice and for whatever reason families come to Tapping House during the festive period, we will make sure that the Christmas spirit is felt.

After a successful debut in 2024, we are once again offering an opportunity for businesses to get involved in our Light Up a Life appeal, and demonstrate their support for the hospice by sponsoring a light up star to decorate the front of our building.

This wonderful initiative will symbolically Light up and provide hope to people in our community, to shine a light on the work of the Hospice and demonstrate the support of our business community.

Our Christmas Stars switch on event on Monday 1st December will be a magical evening, and a brilliant opportunity for you and members of your team to discover first-hand how your support directly impacts our patients and their families all year round. The evening will include live festive music and complementary drinks, light bites and mince pies. Each corporate supporter will receive an official invitation to the event, and those that have sponsored a larger star will be offered a tour for up to 5 members of staff. The event will be publicised with official thank you across a number of our social media platforms and we will give a mention in our partnership newsletter to the whole business community.

Your star will light up the dark winter nights, representative of our care, for staff, patients, families & volunteers. 

Age UK Norwich celebrates its 10th anniversary of Still on the Ball, its much-loved football reminiscence group that has been bringing friendship, laughter and connection to people living with dementia since 2015.

The concept for Still on the Ball was brought to Norwich in 2015 by Gina Brown, inspired by her successful work in Aberdeen. Recognising the power of football to spark memories and conversation, Gina partnered with Age UK Norwich to create a local group that would capture that same spirit in the heart of Norfolk. The group was appropriately named Still on the Ball, giving a nod to the Norwich City anthem ‘On the Ball City’.

Meeting monthly at Carrow Road, home of Norwich City Football Club, the group provides a warm and welcoming space for participants to reminisce about matches, players and moments that have shaped their lives. Using photos, memorabilia and lively discussion, sessions bring people together to share stories, laughter and camaraderie. As one regular described, “It feels like being back on the terraces with friends again.”

Over the years, Still on the Ball has welcomed special guests, including former Norwich City players, and enjoyed exclusive tours of Carrow Road and the Colney Training Ground. Even during the COVID lockdowns, dedicated volunteers kept the spirit alive by creating virtual sessions, ensuring the team stayed connected.

The project’s success lies in its inclusive and friendly approach. Visitors often remark how seamlessly volunteers and members blend together, a reflection of the group’s ethos. Many volunteers, four of whom have been involved since the very beginning, have formed long-lasting bonds with members, helping to maintain vital community connections that can often fade after a dementia diagnosis.

While Norwich City pride runs deep, Still on the Ball welcomes fans from all clubs. Sessions explore the broader story of football, ensuring that everyone, no matter where their team allegiance lies, can join in the memories and the joy.

“Still on the Ball is about so much more than football,” said Katy Omer, Age UK Norwich’s Health and Community Outreach Officer. “It’s about belonging, laughter and giving people the confidence to share their stories again. We’re incredibly proud to celebrate ten years of friendship and community.”

This milestone would not have been possible without the dedication of the volunteers and the ongoing support from the community. Age UK Norwich extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped sustain Still on the Ball over the past decade.

A special mention goes to Neil Hickman at Hickman Supplies, whose long-term sponsorship has played a vital role in the continuation and growth of the group. His generosity and commitment have ensured that the sessions could continue to bring joy, connection and support to so many.

After ten incredible years, Still on the Ball continues to be a shining example of how sport and memory can come together to make a difference. The group embodies Age UK Norwich’s mission to reduce isolation, foster community, and celebrate the lives and experiences of older people.

As the group looks forward to its next decade, one thing remains certain: the ball is still very much rolling.

Help Keep the Memories Alive

For ten years, Still on the Ball has brought joy, laughter and connection to people living with dementia. Your donation helps us continue this vital work, creating a space where stories are shared, friendships grow and no one feels alone.

We’re looking for local businesses and individuals who believe in the power of community. By sponsoring Still on the Ball, you’ll help us fund future sessions, resources and outreach, ensuring the group continues to thrive for years to come.

This summer has been a season of progress, partnership, and purpose for the Age Friendly Norwich team, who have been working tirelessly to make Norwich a great place to grow older. From transport accessibility to age-friendly workplaces and community events, the team has been leading initiatives that ensure older residents can thrive across every aspect of city life.

Age Friendly Norwich is part of the UK Network of Age Friendly Communities, supported by the Centre for Ageing Better and working in partnership with Norwich City Council, Age UK Norwich, and a range of local organisations and volunteers.

Together, they are building an inclusive city where everyone can age with confidence, connection, and purpose.

Read on to see what the team have been doing this summer to make Norwich an even more age-friendly city.

Improving Travel Connections

The Age Friendly Travel Connections project has brought together major transport partners, including Norfolk County Council, local bus and train operators, taxi and community transport services, and active travel providers. Their shared goal is to make getting around Norwich easier and more inclusive.

One major success is the permanent introduction of the mobility bus service from County Hall car park to Carrow Road for all Norwich City Football Club home games, an excellent example of partnership working to improve accessibility for all.

Shaping Norwich Together

The Age Friendly team has played an active role in several Norwich City Council consultations, ensuring that older voices are represented in major city developments. These include the Hay Hill review, Castle Gardens redevelopment, City Hall accessibility improvements, Norwich Market enhancements, and the Sloughbottom Park development, where the team sits on the steering group.

“Your city, your voice – and we’re here to represent the needs of our ageing population,” said the Age Friendly Norwich team.

Challenging Ageism and Promoting Inclusion

The first Wise Up to Ageism (WU2A) training workshop took place on 24th July at Dragon Hall, attracting delegates from across East Anglia in sectors such as care, education, business, and transport. The event encouraged participants to reflect on and challenge ageist attitudes, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. More sessions are being planned for later this year.

Community Connections and Events

The team has been busy strengthening community links throughout the summer and autumn:

• Norwich Airport Accessibility Forum (10th September): A collaborative session to improve accessibility and inclusion at the airport.
• International Day for Older People (1st October): Hosted by Aviva at Marble Hall, this event promoted health and wellbeing with free blood pressure checks, gait analysis, and activities that challenge ageing stereotypes.
• Care for Carers Information Event (10th October): At The Forum, the team joined local organisations to connect carers an charities with vital support services.

New Initiatives on the Horizon

Exciting projects are taking shape across the city:

• Mall Walking: In partnership with Castle Quarter Shopping Centre, this free and sociable walking programme will launch soon, offering a safe, warm and welcoming way to stay active indoors.
• Community Street & Access Audits: Working with Norwich City Council and local groups like Living Streets, the team is co-designing a practical format to assess accessibility and inform city action.
• State of Housing in Norwich – Snapshot Report: Building on the 2024 State of Ageing in Norwich report, this new research focuses on housing needs and challenges for older people.

Championing Age Friendly Employers

The Age Friendly Employers Network continues to grow, welcoming organisations including the National Centre for Writing, Konnect Bus, St Martins Housing, Norwich Airport, Norwich Door to Door, Home Instead, Norfolk and Suffolk Care Support, and Hear for Norfolk.

Age UK Norwich also represented the city at the Age Friendly Employer Pledge Connections event in London, joining national discussions on the future of work and ageing.

The Age Friendly Employer Pledge is free and open to all UK employers committed to supporting workers aged 50+.

Celebrating a Busy Summer

From consultations to community events, the Age Friendly Norwich team has demonstrated how collaboration and creativity can make a lasting difference.

Denise Troughton, from the Age Friendly Norwich team, said “It’s been a fantastic summer of partnership and progress. We’re proud to work alongside so many local organisations to make Norwich a city where people of all ages can live, work and age well.”

What is an Age Friendly City?

Age UK Norwich is committed to building an Age Friendly City, a place where people can age well, stay independent, and remain active in their community. By joining a global network of over 1,000 cities, we can tackle the challenges of an ageing population and create a city that works for all generations.
