Professionals: Asset advisory firm launches; Firm celebrates Law Society accolade; and more

A FIRM specialising in the valuation and disposal of machinery and business assets and company restructuring has launched in Leeds.

Richmond Asset Advisory works alongside accountants, professionals and directly with SMEs and large corporates.

Stephen Jones, founder and director has over 30 years’ experience in the surveying valuation industry, having held director positions at Sanderson Weatherall and Fox Lloyd Jones.

He said: “We are a director-led team with a wealth of experience that is directly accessible to those organisations looking for valuation and disposal services, across Yorkshire and beyond. We have already been instructed by a number of large corporate clients, manufacturers and organisations seeking restructuring programmes.

“We have a wealth of experience in all aspects of appraisal and disposal, from single assets to full manufacturing facilities across a broad range of industry sectors, as well as corporate clients and advisors. We look forward to working with the Yorkshire and North East business communities and growing the business further, particularly during such challenging times when specialist advisory services will become even more of a key service for industry.”

Richmond Asset Advisory is based on Aire Street.

It launches with a five-strong team, of which four are experienced valuers.

LAW firm Lupton Fawcett Denison Till is helping to develop the next generation of British sports stars by raising money for SportsAid.

Seventy golfers, made up of teams from the local professional community and clients, took part in a golf day organised by the law firm to raise funds to give budding young sports stars the financial support and recognition during the critical early stages of their careers.

Helping to swell the coffers on the day was young golfing superstar, Rotherham’s Charlie Daughtrey who, at 13 years old was crowned European champion in his age category and is an under 16 England international. The youngster fulfilled the ‘Beat the Pro’ role at the par three 6th hole.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of SportsAid, which has the Duchess of Cambridge as its patron. Notable alumni, which have been helped by the charity include, Tanni Grey-Thomson, Sharron Davies, Greg Rutherford, Mark Cavendish, Jessica Ennis, Christine Ohuruogu, and Ellie Simmonds.

Daniel McCormack, a director of Lupton Fawcett Denison Till, is also a trustee of SportsAid for Yorkshire and the Humber and is keen to encourage businesses to become involved in the charity.

“There are so many positives companies can get from the association; from helping enhance their Corporate Social Responsibility, through to having enormous pride in helping an athlete to become a potential world beater.

“We would like to thank all the teams which took part in our golf day for supporting such a worthwhile cause. The aim is to make this an annual event and a fixture in the professional community’s golfing calendar.”
