Funds raised for the Great North Air Ambulance Service.

On Monday 8 January 2024 we welcomed Amanda Simmister from the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) to our Berwick upon Tweed office.

Amanda was presented with donations by GWA staff.  Staff raised £361.25 from their annual Christmas Jumper Day on 15 December 2023  and for the total ongoing funds raised to date, an impressive £3,500.00

Some of our staff also joined Amanda for a bracing walk around the towns Elizabethan walls as part of the GNAAS Walk the Wall 2024 Challenge.

Well done to everyone who has played a part in raising these much needed funds over the years!

Scottish Budget 2026/27

Shona Robison’s final Scottish Budget for 2026/27 was delivered yesterday after a delay caused by the late UK Budget, marking a pivotal moment ahead of the May Holyrood elections and her departure from frontline politics. The Budget sets out tax, welfare, and public‑service plans that will shape Scotland’s political debate over the coming months.

Market Commentary: 6 January 2026

We enter 2026 with US stocks dominating the global market while trading on expensive valuations. A small number of tech stocks account for a large portion of US returns and they are increasingly tied to the fortunes of the AI industry. These are certainly risks to be aware of.

Market Commentary – 5 December 2025

Stocks had a small dip in November, before recovering back towards their previous highs. The longest US government shutdown in history had a negative effect, before coming to an abrupt end and allowing stocks to rally.
