In case you missed it, interest rates doubled earlier this month to their second lowest ever level… what a sentence. Expected for some time, this is the first of several ‘baby steps’ Governor Carney has been preparing us for, as The Bank of England seeks to balance spending, inflation and GDP growth. Commentators do not […]
Last month we wrote about the lost decade – the ten years since the financial crash of 2008 – and having discussed this theory in meetings with a range of SMEs it feels like the side effect of the lost decade is a numbness to economic uncertainty. That is not to say that businesses are […]
What was making the news in October 1967?

Having been launched in June of the […]

After 30 years, we are sad to be announcing the departure of Kathy Archibald from Evans Weir. A mainstay of the business, Kathy has been the welcome face of Evans Weir, meeting and greeting clients in both the Chichester and Drayton offices and providing valuable office support to the Directors and accounts team.
