Welcome

We are delighted to introduce you to the Ashley Kate HR & Finance Summer Newsletter. With the weather as unpredictable as the political landscape, we are delighted to bring you some familiarity with our quarterly newsletter.

We have spent the first half of the year boosting our teams to work with increasing numbers of clients and candidates and introduced an exciting new tool to further enhance our service offering, more on this later.

With just a few months to go until our autumn line up of events with Eversheds Sutherland, our newsletter contains a review from this award-winning legal firm of the last 3 months and a look ahead for the rest of the year.

We hope you find this newsletter both useful and informative. If you would like to contribute to our next edition or be involved with our events, articles or blogs please do not hesitate to contact us.

Many thanks,

Love is certainly in the air at Ashley Kate…

Natasha James, one of our Senior Consultants has wed her American sweetheart. We have all been intrigued, and a little jealous as we have witnessed this transatlantic love story develop. From huge bouquets arriving at the office to romantic trips and an amazing proposal at the airport, we feel we have been there every step of the way. We are all so delighted that Natasha has tied the knot this July, and we wish her and her new hubby all the happiness in the world.
