View our January New Year letter.

2023 saw Britain slowly return business as usual. There were fewer upheavals than in recent years. Working away for the office is quite common for notaries and clients. I've found that I have to change my days in the office to match those when a business clients is also in their office. For the time being at least the notary profession is one where personal attendance is usually necessary.

Our Zoom courses remain successful and  popular. Personal attendance is enjoyed by many but we have canvassed opinion and the reality is that notaries will opt for the Zoom courses over coming to a venue. Therefore, we will in 2024 again, have only one attended course, in London, in the autumn.

Our courses this year are covering some old ground but we hope with a fresh approach. Don't be concerned that there is an AML element in every course. We are ensuring that the courses are directed at different aspects of the rules to ensure you remain interested and engaged plus well informed about AML & compliant with the Faculty Office requirements. We have had to increase our prices by £5 this year as our website hosting company and the booking software company have both increased their prices to us.

All courses are approved by the Faculty Office for the purposes of the Notaries (Continuing Professional Education)

Regulations 2021 and are accredited with 3 CPE points.

We hope to see you on screen (or in person in London) during the year. As ever, if we are not covering a topic that you are intersted in then lat us know!
