…and happy new year. The festive period provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on the year gone by and the year ahead – perhaps to set ourselves new goals and challenges in our personal and working lives. It can also be a time to reflect upon the lives of those around us, colleagues, families, friends, and our wider communities.

It has been my privilege to support Sebastian’s Action Trust on a few occasions through 2015, most recently in the Santa run at Virginia Water in earlier December.

VCI has also chosen to support the trust in our Christmas donation this year. You can find out more about the excellent work they do supporting families of seriously ill children at

and, if you feel suitably moved, can donate at

Our thanks to you all for your patience and custom through the year. Do have a very merry and restful Christmas break.
