What a fantastic day at the Higgs Charity Football Tournament at Stourbridge Rugby Football Club!

The team put in a strong performance, finishing top of both group stages and keeping clean sheets throughout.

We are proud to have made it to the quarter finals and achieve our highest-ever finish in the three years we’ve been taking part in the tournament.

Well done to everyone involved and thank you to Higgs for organising another brilliant tournament!

We had a ball ⚽

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures celebrating today!

However you're spending the day, we hope you have a special one.

What a fantastic few days at the 2026 PrimeGlobal Business Leadership Forum in Dublin.

Paislei Godley, Jamie Skelding, Morgan Davies and Luke Edwards had a great time connecting with fellow members from across the PrimeGlobal network.

A particular highlight was seeing Luke facilitate the Engaging Technology session, leading discussions on the role technology continues to play in shaping the future of our profession.

Thank you to everyone involved for making it such a valuable and successful event.

Do your payroll records meet the latest compliance requirements?

Since 6 April 2026, the rules have changed. Most records now need to be kept for at least six years, with different retention periods for PAYE, sickness, maternity and right to work documentation.

Failure to comply can lead to serious consequences, even where records are lost by accident.

Inheritance Tax planning is no longer a future problem.

With IHT thresholds frozen and unused pension funds set to fall within the IHT net from April 2027, more families and business owners are starting to think carefully about how their estates are structured.

That is why we are hosting a three-part webinar series designed to help you understand the changes, review your current position and manage your Inheritance Tax with greater confidence.

Join our experts Andrew Cockman and Glen Callow from Prime Wealth Planning on 18 June at 2:00pm as they help you get to grips with the IHT process.

Earlier this week, Morgan Davies and Kerrie Given visited the MediCinema at Birmingham Children's Hospital and Charity to see first-hand the impact of the funds raised from our latest challenge, Prime vs Everest!

They were given a warm welcome by Katie Harris and Rose Adamson, the Cinema Manager, who kindly showed them around the space.

It was an incredibly moving day for Morgan and Kerrie as they were able to watch the space in action.

For those who don’t know, the MediCinema provides a wonderful place within the hospital where children and their families can come together to enjoy a film.

Seeing it all in person made the impact of the Prime vs Everest challenge feel very real.

Morgan and Kerrie left feeling incredibly proud and more motivated than ever to keep supporting this amazing cause.

Thank you again to everyone who supported, donated and cheered the team on throughout the challenge.

Recently, Emma Abbotts and Kerrie Given swapped their usual roles for volunteering at the Birmingham Hippodrome's relaxed performance of The Gruffalo!

The excited faces and jazz hands flying in every direction made for a wonderful experience ✨

Relaxed performances are a great way to make theatre more accessible and welcoming for those who may find traditional settings overwhelming.
