New qualification a major 'STEP' for QualitySolicitors Redkite


QualitySolicitors Redkite partner Tim Haggar has a new qualification which is regarded as a major ‘STEP’ forward in his industry.
Mr Haggar is one of only a handful of solicitors in Wales to gain the STEP Qualified Practitioner diploma from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
The society’s qualification is widely regarded as major benchmark for those working in wealth management, tax, trusts and estates planning.
“I am delighted to receive the qualification,” Mr Haggar said.
“There’s a lot of hard work gone into it and it represents something of a personal milestone for me - and a feather in the cap for the firm of QualitySolicitors Redkite!
“There aren’t many people in Wales who hold the qualification, so I think it puts QualitySolicitors Redkite right up there in the vanguard as a leading light in the field of trusts and estates and specialist tax issues.”
Mr Haggar had to complete three dissertations to gain the qualification.
His topics were –
  • Lifetime Tax planning 
  • Contesting wills 
  • Inheritance tax 
Mr Haggar added: “The qualification is recognised internationally, so it really is THE ‘badge’ to have in the field of trusts, estates and tax advice.
“It demonstrates that you have reached a particular standing in the field and that you will be able to offer specialist advice for clients in their estate tax planning.”
Mr Haggar was recently appointed to the Lottery Winners Panel by Camelot for the Mid and West Wales areas. “In short, that means that if someone gets a bumper win in this area, I am one of the people on call to give them legal advice,” said Mr Haggar.
Mr Haggar is based at the QualitySolicitors Redkite Haverfordwest office, but his territory takes in Carmarthenshire.

The more money you make, the higher your AGI will be and the more you'll pay in taxes. Conversely, you'll pay less in taxes if you earn less.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
