It has certainly been quite the busy start to the year for the team at Hansford Bell, and we’ve had plenty happening both in and out of the office.
Aside from the Spring Statement and the upcoming new tax year, several team events and personal achievements have meant there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes over the past month or so.
We love sharing these updates with you, as they offer a glimpse into the people and moments that make up the team supporting you day to day.
So, keep reading to find out exactly what we’ve been up to recently!
We want to extend our congratulations to Callum Plokker, one of our financial planning assistants, who recently completed an ultramarathon.
A challenge of this scale required an incredible amount of preparation, commitment, and determination. It’s certainly no small feat, and we’re all so proud of him.
Our paraplanner, Tori, recently celebrated her 30th birthday!

A few members of the team headed out to mark the big milestone with her. It was a wonderful opportunity to step away from the bustle of the office, spend some quality time together, and celebrate Tori’s special day.
Chris has also been back in the recording studio for an upcoming episode with the Financial Planning Club.
Taking part in podcasts like these allows him to share his thoughts on the profession and on some of the approaches we use every day when working with you.
It is also a brilliant way for the team to stay connected with what’s happening more widely across the financial planning world, so we can keep learning from others.
We’re looking forward to the episode’s release and will be sure to share more details once it is live.
