February has been another busy and positive month at Sibbalds. Alongside welcoming a new team member and celebrating a significant long-service milestone, we’re proud to be supporting grassroots sport in the local community following the launch of our new branding. This month has also seen the release of our February Sibbalds Tax-E-news and Sibbalds Business Newswire, covering key tax planning opportunities, inheritance tax updates, Making Tax Digital progress and wider business developments.
Welcome to the Team, Millie
We are pleased to welcome yet another new team member to Sibbalds.
Millie Dainty joined us on 18th February and is working as part of our Client Finance Team, supporting various businesses with day-to-day digital accounting, credit control, payment processing and all things finance department related. Millie is currently studying for her ACCA qualification, which she is hoping to complete this year.
We’re delighted to have her on board and look forward to supporting her as she progresses through her professional studies.
Supporting Local Grassroots Football
Now that we have officially launched our new branding, we can also share some exciting news from last year.
In October, we became the shirt sponsors for Ripley Town Reds Under 9’s Football Team – which David’s son Barnaby plays for. It’s fantastic to see our new logo and branding proudly displayed on their kits.
After a tough start to the season, the team are now on an impressive winning streak of seven league matches – a brilliant turnaround and a credit to the players and coaches.
Supporting local community initiatives remains important to us, and we’re proud to play a small part in encouraging the next generation.
Celebrating 14 Years at Sibbalds
This month also marked an important milestone for Harry Cooke, who turned 30.
Harry has been with us since leaving school at the age of 16. That’s 14 years at Sibbalds — a lot of growth, development and shared memories along the way. It’s been a privilege to watch his career progress and we’re delighted to have celebrated this milestone with him.
