Autumn 2019 Staff News

Appointments
We are delighted to welcome three new faces to our Accounts team in Berwick, Rowena Kerr, Kirsty Markwell and Sarah Weatherburn joined us in October and November. We also welcome back Laura Fowle to our Wealth Management team from maternity leave following the birth of baby son Mackenzie.

Weddings
We have a trio of weddings to celebrate, one being a marriage of two GWA employees. Laura Reavley from our Farm Accounts team married Andrew Riddell in June. Sarah Strathdee, also from our Farm Accounts team, married Neil Elliot in August. Our third marriage saw Natalie Weir from our Tax team and Michael Beveridge who is in our Payroll team tie the knot in September. We wish all three couples all the very best for their future together.

Births
Finally, our congratulations go to Danielle Campbell in our Corporate Services team and her husband Ed on the birth of their daughter Evelyn Grace, who in spite of surprising her parents with an early arrival is doing well.

Global Market Commentary – New Year’s Review

We are at a point in time where US stocks are dominating all others, in terms of both their outright size and the strength of their returns. In 2024, the MSCI USA index gained 24.6%, almost double the 12.4% return achieved by the rest of the world (MSCI World ex-USA). However, 2025 does bring a mixed outlook for unemployment and inflation, in the US and elsewhere, therefore it will be interesting to see if investment returns can remain so strong in the coming year.

Successful Autumn Rural Seminars

Greaves West & Ayre recently held two successful and well-attended Port Budget Rural Seminars.
