ANDY’S BACK
Hi everyone, as the title suggests I am back—thank you very much for your well wishes. My recovery has gone as smoothly as I could have hoped for. The team have been fantastic, making sure the work was done in full and to a high quality. Which is how it should be in a high performing organisation.
I am focused on new business and developing our products to benefit all our clients. On that, please welcome our latest clients Wildhut Saunas (www.wildhut.com). Thank you all for your continued support.

XERO PROTOTYPE DISPLAY
Xero is rolling out a new design this month which will split the top navigation bar into more dropdown menus and increased options on the dashboard. This will hopefully optimise getting to different sections. When this is implemented, if you can’t find something you are looking for, please reach out and we will help you.
National Minimum Wage Increase
The Government has put forward their proposal for next year’s National Minimum Wage increase. Over 21s would increase from £12.21 to £12.71, the largest % increase ever. This is still subject to change.
