The feedback from the evening highlighted that guests found the presentation extremely informative and that they had gained a better understanding of this area of law and how keeping up with legislation can prove to be crucial to business.


The second part of the event was presented by David Walker, director of tax at Turner Peachey, who discussed tax planning for employers and then Brian Benson, Director of Shrewsbury based Crown Wealth Management. who went into detail about regulatory requirements surrounding employer compulsory pension contributions.


A lively question and answer session rounded up the event which was led by Ian Morris, partner at Turner Peachey. Following the seminar, guests had a chance to network whilst enjoying a buffet and drinks.


Ed Barnes commented; “There were some very relevant and informative presentations which we believe were of real benefit to those who attended. We are looking forward to putting on similar events in the future as a way of illustrating our commitment to the area and support to local businesses in Shropshire.”
