Business seminar date for Carmarthen

There’s a chance to catch up on the latest developments in the world of business at a special seminar being staged in Carmarthen later this month.

It’s being organised by Clay Shaw Butler, chartered accountants and business consultants of Carmarthen and Porthcawl.

“It’s an afternoon seminar with something of interest for everyone – and you get a great chance to do some useful networking,” said Clay Shaw Butler consultant Ann Thomas.

The seminar is on Wednesday, September 28, and runs from 2pm to 4.30pm at the Cothi Suite at the Halliwell Centre at the University of Wales Trinity St David in Carmarthen.

There are a limited number of places available at the seminar – but, if you are interested, you can contact Clay Shaw Butler at – email, info@clayshawbutler.com, telephone, 01267 228500; address, 24 Lammas Street, Carmarthen SA31 3AL.

Ann Thomas and Clay Shaw Butler relationship accountant Sarah Wynne will be staging a demonstration of the Sage accounting software package and talking about how to make the best use of accounts and the internet.

Chris Ellis, of One Life Financial Planning, will be talking about current and imminent changes in pensions and NEST (National Employment Savings Trust). NEST is a straightforward workplace pension scheme for employers to use for their UK based workers. It means that employers can provide a workplace pension scheme for all of their workers, including those who may not have had access to a pension arrangement before. NEST also makes it easy for employers to meet the new legal duties that start to be introduced in 2012.

Finally, Donna Purchase, of Red Kite Law will discuss the ever-changing world of employment law and, in particular, the changes for employers.
