*** RETIREMENT POST ***

✨Yesterday we celebrated an amazing professional journey as our colleague and good friend Paul Mitchell retired.

🎉After spending many years as a teacher, Paul took up his first role in financial services in 1989. Many of his more recent clients were the children, or even grandchildren, of those first clients! The last 10 years were spent as an Appointed Representative of Holyoakes.

🍾Congratulations on your amazing professional journey Paul. No one deserves a happy retirement more than you. Thank you for everything, and best wishes for this exciting new phase! You've made a difference in so many lives, and now it's time for you to enjoy yours to the fullest.

🥂Happy retirement, we will miss you at the office but look forward to our curry night catch-ups!

Happy St Andrew’s Day!

Funnily enough, St Andrew never actually stepped foot in Scotland his whole life!

So why is he the patron saint of Scotland?
There is no clear tale that answers this question.
One story says that in the 9th Century, King Angus in Scotland was preparing for a battle against the English.
St Andrew appeared to King Angus in a dream promising him victory and on the day of the battle, an X symbol appeared in the sky, which was the symbol of St Andrew.
He vowed that if they won, St Andrew would be made the patron saint of Scotland - and that is exactly what happened.
This is why the Scottish flag has the X-shaped cross on it, as it is St Andrew's symbol.

Make sure today is filled with joy and a touch of Scottish spirit - from all at Holyoakes Group Ltd

November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and we at Holyoakes want to shine a light on the importance of men's health. As Financial services is predominantly male, it is a big subject for us to prioritize.

Men are far less likely to seek mental health support than women. Guys are a little proud and 99% of the time need to be the rock which makes it harder to open up.

Su***de is the leading cause of death in men over 40. We know that men are less likely to reach out for help and we need to look at factors affecting men's mental health. When they reach out for help, men must be able to access and benefit from mental health services that meets their needs.

Charities, forums and foundations who can help:-

🔷 MIND
🔷 HeadsUpGuys
🔷 Anxiety UK
🔷 Mental Health Foundation
🔷 Samaritans
🔷 Men's Health Forum
🔷 MindTheMen
🔷 CALM
🔷 ManUp?

June and November are popular months for supporting men's mental health ― but the men in your life need you year-round.

Please check in with your family, friends and colleagues.

As Remembrance Day approaches, Holyoakes reflect on the courage of those who served.

Tomorrow, and every day, we remember those who volunteered, sacrificed, served, fought, and died, for our freedom. We thank you, and we salute you as we salute those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We will never forget.

We will remember.

Gender in Financial Services is a complex issue with many contributing factors.

Below are a few reasons why:

📍 Historical norms
📍 Perceived stereotypes
📍 Workplace culture
📍 Balance work & family life
📍 Few role models & mentors

Sadly many women feel they do not have the confidence to move into this area, many feel completely overwhelmed and outnumbered.

Recent studies show that only 16% of financial advisers are female, however it's estimated that there are 1000's of women level 4 qualified in the profession that are not pursuing the role of Financial Adviser. It's guessed that two thirds of the estimated 9000+ paraplanners in the UK are women.

Adjustments are starting to be put in place to make a change to this. Many companies now introduce diversity training to start to make an impact.

Opportunity is knocking ladies!
