We're delighted that our Co-founder and Chief Client Officer, Claire Mellon, will be speaking at Driven To Network London event on 29th July.

Claire's session, The feeling your business leaves behind, explores how every interaction shapes the way people experience your business and why that experience is often what people remember and recommend.

Whether it's your website, a conversation, an email or a follow-up, every touchpoint contributes to the feeling your business leaves behind. Claire will be sharing practical ideas that business owners can take away and apply straight away.

A huge thank you to Nikki Butlin for the invitation. We're looking forward to a great event and meeting lots of businesses.

If you'd like to join us, we'd love to see you there.

Supporting people through different stages of life and business looks different for everyone.

Some people come to us as individuals or families, wanting clarity and reassurance as things change. Others are business owners thinking about growth, protection or the future of their company. We also work closely with professional partners who want joined-up, thoughtful outcomes for their clients.

What connects all of this is people. Real conversations, real questions and the need for financial guidance that feels clear, calm and supportive.

If you’d like to understand more about who we help, you can explore the different areas on our website:

We all know that life doesn't always go to plan.

Illness, bereavement, divorce, relationships, caring responsibilities, redundancy or becoming the victim of a scam can all affect how confident someone feels when making financial decisions.

At Cohesion, we believe good financial planning is about more than recommending products or solutions. It's about understanding the person sitting in front of us and adapting the support we provide when it's needed most.

That's why we've committed to the Financial Vulnerability Charter through the Consumer Duty Alliance and Financial Vulnerability Taskforce.

The Charter sets out a clear commitment to recognising vulnerability, treating every client with dignity and respect, communicating in a way that is clear and accessible and helping people achieve good outcomes, whatever their circumstances.

While we hope our clients never face difficult times, if they do, they can be confident they'll be met with patience, understanding and support.

Financial planning is about putting people first and the Charter demonstrates our ongoing commitment to that.

There are some questions people know are important to ask, but still find hard to think about, or raise.

We understand that isn’t because people don’t care. Usually it’s because life is busy, the process feels overwhelming, or the conversation itself feels uncomfortable.

Questions like:
• What would happen if something happened to me?
• Who would make decisions if I couldn’t?
• Would my family be financially secure?
• Am I actually prepared for the future?

Having clear, supportive conversations around these questions can make all the difference because once things start to feel understood and manageable, taking action becomes much easier.

If you’ve been meaning to start one of these conversations, taking the first step is often easier than you think.

Claire & Dee also talk about Imposter Syndrome, fear of failure and how important reflection and meditation can be during the harder moments in life.

You don't need to have everything figured out to start planning.

Many people put off financial planning because they think they need a clear goal, more money, or all the answers before they begin.

We believe it is important to make starting simple by asking questions:

💭 Am I on track?
💭 Could I be doing more?
💭 What should I be focusing on right now?

Understanding where you are today is often the first step towards feeling more confident about tomorrow.

Recently, we attended the Rayner Essex LLP SportsAid Lunch in St Albans.

It was a wonderful opportunity to spend time with local businesses while supporting the important work that SportsAid Eastern (SportsAid) does to help talented young athletes develop and achieve their potential.

We enjoyed hearing from Monty Panesar, Dr Derek Redmond and SportsAid-supported Judo athlete Lenny Tancock. Their stories were all different, but each highlighted the commitment, resilience and support that often sit behind success.

Whether in sport, business or life progress rarely happens alone and they all highlighted that having the right people around you can make a meaningful difference.

At Cohesion, we believe strong relationships and long-term support matter. It is one of the reasons we value opportunities to connect with our local community and support organisations making a positive impact.

Thank you to Rayner Essex for hosting such an enjoyable event and to everyone involved in making it a success.

Today is Better Business Day.

This year marks 20 years since the Companies Act 2006 came into force, prompting an important conversation about the role businesses play in society and the responsibilities they hold beyond financial performance alone.

We're proud supporters of the Better Business Act because we believe business has a responsibility beyond profit alone.

As a purpose-led business and a Pending B Corp, we believe success should be measured not only by financial outcomes, but by the impact we have on clients, communities and the wider world.

For us, doing the right thing, acting responsibly and building for the long term go hand in hand.
