Welcome to Harris Balcombe’s first newsletter of 2012. Our objective, as always, is to provide you with news and comment from a very busy and vibrant marketplace. It's a commitment that we like to make to our clients and business partners and we hope you find the features and articles in this edition useful and informative.

Continuing our commitment of providing a nationwide service we recently opened our Yorkshire office. John Williams and Howard Armstrong form the backbone of the new team who are already busy helping a growing client base. If you'd like more information on the Yorkshire team please use the link.

Expanding on the regional theme Nick Balcombe, one of our Partners, who started the year helping clients in New Zealand following the earthquake, popped up on BBC radio Scotland to offer help and advice to people and businesses following the New Year storms. We also became members of the International Institute of Claims Preparers. Click on the IICP link if you'd like more information on the Institute.

Last year we met many of you at various broker seminars and training programmes we are involved in or run and, as we have a full programme planned for this year, we hope to see many more of you throughout 2012. If you’d like more information on our services please use the links in this e-mail or give us a call.
