Marion and Ryan are based at our Haddington office, whereas Leesa and Amanda will be working from our Berwick office.

As ever, various members of the team have celebrated a variety of professional and personal accomplishments over the last few months. Hats off to David Simpson from our Wealth Management department who has qualified as a CIIL4 Dip Financial Adviser.

Also, our very best wishes go to Sharon Virtue (nee Easton) and her husband Pete who got married on 6 November.

Finally, we send massive congratulations to our Head of Wealth Management, Mark Harrison, who completed the 2021 London Marathon in October. As well as it being a tremendous personal achievement, Mark also raised over £1500 in sponsorship for mental health charity Tyneside and Northumberland Mind.
