Winter Newsletter 2011/12
I heard a comedian jibe the other day ‘An Irishman and a Greek went into a bar to buy a drink........Who paid? I did!’
We have a great propensity to make light of the most serious of issues, and I certainly subscribe to the saying ‘laughter is the best medicine’ and it will be those kind of attributes which may well see us through the next few years of potential pain in the economy.
However, one cannot help but be sobered at the implications that one in eight of our young people are starting their working life on the dole, many of whom will have recently left University saddled with debt.
The argument of youth versus experience is an interesting dilemma which the private sector has to grapple with, and in particular the IFA sector whose workforce is expected to shrink in size by up to twenty percent according to Hector Sants (CEO of the FSA) when the Retail Distribution Review comes into effect next year.
The implementation of the review is welcomed by those of us who wish to see our profession on a par with both solicitors and accountants, but this is obviously a view which not everyone shares. For those businesses which do grow, and we hope that Trinity is among them, perhaps there is a moral responsibility to nurture an acorn.
In all aspects of their lives, we want to see our staff and client’s dreams be fulfilled.
May this Christmas be a time of joy and celebration to you all
