Christmas Jumper Day at Blick Rothenbergđ đźđ Last week our Christmas Jumper Day and annual raffle was held in support of our Charity of the Year: London's Air Ambulance Charity . Thank you to all our colleagues who took part in person (or virtually): we've raised over ÂŁ1,200. Londonâs Air Ambulance Charity Since launching 33 years ago, the service has treated over 43,000 patients. The London Air Ambulance helicopters get medics to people in 11 minutes, where they can perform life-saving surgery on London's most critically injured. But time is running out for their two helicopters - they need to be replaced by 2024. Londonâs Air Ambulance is reliant on public donations to meet its annual running costs of approximately ÂŁ10 million. The London Air Ambulance works closely with the NHS and receives some funding from its NHS partners, but it is not an NHS organisation.

âTime for Change: Actions not wordsâ That was the theme of Black History Month this October. As part of our âactionsâ we are pleased to introduce Blick Rothenbergâs Black Hair Commitment. Research shows that 1 in 4 Black adults have been sent home from work or faced disciplinary action as a result of wearing their hair in a natural or protective style. As a firm we are committed to having a genuinely inclusive culture where everyone can fulfil their potential and be themselves. Our Black Hair Commitment builds on our âDress for your dayâ framework, ensuring everyone feels empowered to bring their whole selves to work. Our emBRace network produced a Black Hair Commitment guide which explains the history of race-based hair discrimination, the actions we can all take to support our colleagues, and formalises our zero-tolerance attitude to race-based hair discrimination. We love the photography for the guide featuring our own team members We also thank all those in the emBRace network who are helping us all understand the importance of the topic.
Autumn Budget Statement - Budget reaction Less than 8 weeks since the Truss/Kwarteng short-lived whirlwind Mini-Budget, Blick Rothenberg CEO Nimesh Shah and Partner Neil Lancaster discuss todayâs Autumn Statement. Neil says: âIf we look at this Budget in isolation itâs what I would call a Budget of stagnation. I hope this is the first part of a multiple step plan.â
Blick Rothenbergâs CEO Nimesh Shah was awarded Private Client Accountant of the Year in the prestigious Spearâs Magazine 2022 Awards. The Awards ceremony took place on 2 November at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House on Park Lane. The evening celebrated entrepreneurs, philanthropists and leading advisers and service-providers to high-net-worth individuals. Based exclusively on the views and expertise of 27 specialist judges, with a shortlist comprising the most innovative and successful individuals in their respective industries, the awards have been running for over a decade and have become known as âthe private client Oscarsâ. Earlier this month Nimesh was also included in the âTop Flightâ category of the Spearâs 500 list of best Accountants and Tax advisers for High-Net-Worth (HNW) Individuals. Nimesh said: âITo win the Private Client Accountant of the Year is a career highlight, and Iâm grateful to the support Iâve been given at Blick Rothenberg to achieve this milestone.â
Black History Month 2022: Reverse Mentoring The theme for Black History Month is Time for Change: Action Not Words. Alma, a Senior Manager in our US/UK Private Client team talks to Partner, Jim Brown (Leadership Team sponsor for our emBRace employee network), whom she has been reverse mentoring. Reverse mentoring is when a senior leader is mentored by a more junior colleague who, from a diversity and inclusion perspective, may be different from them in some way, and therefore experiences their career differently. The focus of reverse mentoring is to increase the mentee's inclusion skills. However, mentors are also provided with the opportunity to learn from their mentee's experiences, so it is a career development opportunity for both. Throughout October, emBRace (our firmâs network that represents and values the views of our Black and ethnic minority colleagues) are undertaking activities both internally and externally that not only acknowledge Black History Month but demonstrate a commitment to âAction not wordsâ.
