lfbb-july-2021-newsletter LFBB Summer 2021 Newsletter  
       
 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to all.

A combined July/August Newsletter just to keep all our readers on their toes.  It’s holiday season for some who are mainly taking a UK based break, but we’re all really busy and we’ve got The Hundred Cricket and of course the Tokyo Olympics to keep us entertained.  If you haven’t yet seen the reaction of the two high jumpers who were allowed to accept a joint gold rather than go through a ‘jump off’ then seek it out – the embodiment of the Olympic spirit.

Our friends at LFBB Financial services have written an interesting article encouraging anyone approaching retirement to consider their options.   Our litigation department are looking at After the Event Insurance which might be a real help particularly to our commercial clients. If you have any questions or concerns relating to anything in these articles or the rest of the featured news and you would like to chat to us then please just give us a call on 0114 272 9721.

A little advance notice to check out or September Newsletter.  We are sure that our Sheffield readers will be aware of ‘The Worshipful Company of Cutlers” and our ‘Master Cutler’, but did you know that there is also “The Worshipful Company of Pewterers” (based in London) and that this year the ‘Master Pewterer’ also hails from Sheffield.  We have the privilege of working with both the Master Cutler and the Master Pewterer and next month we will feature both of them.

As always we look forward to hearing from you.
