GWA Staff and Community News Spring 2021

Since our last newsletter we have celebrated the success of two of our colleagues who have attained further professional qualifications. Mark Harrison from our Wealth Management division is now a Chartered Financial Adviser and Muna Kala has become a qualified ACA.

We are also celebrating some notable work anniversaries. Trish Melia and Liz Scott have both reached 30 years of service while Neil Forrest and Catriona Robertson have each been with us for 10 years. We congratulate you all and thank you for your loyalty and dedication.

Outside of our offices we are delighted to announce a couple of additions to the wider GWA family. We send our warmest wishes to James Patterson and his wife Linzi on the safe arrival of their daughter Amelia (and of course not forgetting the proud grandfathers, Alan Patterson and Anthony Hogg) and also to Chris Brown and his wife Clare on the birth of their daughter Alanna.
