We are delighted to welcome some new, as well as some more familiar, faces to the GWA team.

Marion McIntosh has joined our admin team, Leesa Watson is a welcome addition to our VAT and Bookkeeping department and Amanda Nicholl and Ryan Reilly have bolstered our growing Accounts team. Marion and Ryan are based at our Haddington office, whereas Leesa and Amanda will be working from our Berwick office. We are also really pleased to have both Kim Turnbull and Michelle Ritchie return to the fold.

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.
