Welcome to the George Hay Highlight…

Each month we address some of the latest news stories and issues affecting our clients and the business world, more generally.

This month we bring you articles about;

The serious stuff aside, we also like to give you an insight into life at George Hay. This month we shine a spotlight on Biggleswade-based Claire Morgan, who was appointed a partner in the firm earlier this year!

In addition, we talk about the Inheritance Tax seminar that we held last month and we share our excitement ahead of this year’s Hunts Post Huntingdonshire Business Awards.

If you have any feedback on our highlight, or if you would like further information on the services we offer, please contact us.
