Hampshire Firms Combine To Stage Business Exit Strategy Seminar


Three Hampshire-based professional services firms are combining to host a seminar about business exit strategies next month.


HWB Chartered Accountants, Hybrid Legal and Asset Management Financial Advisers (AMFA) will provide a panel of experts to discuss the merits and pitfalls of various business exits.


The Best Business Exit event is on Tuesday 23 September from 8am at Chilworth Manor Hotel at Chilworth, near Eastleigh.


Among panellists will be HWB Chartered Accountants’ Tax Director Gemma Hedges and Senior Tax Manager Alan Rolfe, along with Hybrid Legal Director and Head of Corporate Mike Duggan and AMFA’s Head of Advice Adam Keith.


The seminar is designed to be a discussion on all the things business owners should be thinking about for their future, from how they will exit, to what they do with the proceeds in their retirement.


Alan Rolfe, who has 25 years’ experience of providing clients with tax advice, said exit strategies could include; sale to a third party, management buyout, employee ownership trust, company purchase of own shares, or a gift to future generations. He added:

“All business owners should have an exit strategy, and we are staging this seminar to help leaders and directors stay on top of what are the most efficient and profitable ways of disposing of assets."

“It can take years of blood, sweat and tears to successfully establish a business and it is imperative that entrepreneurs should be able to enjoy the fruits of their labours, maximise value and minimise risk when it comes to the time of giving up control."


“Some existing exit plans may become outdated in the ever-changing world of tax and financial affairs and so we will be stressing to attendees the importance of an up-to-date strategy and to seek qualified professional advice.”


Gemma Hedges, who joined HWB in 2020, advises on a range of tax issues, particularly owner-managed businesses, tax enquiries, Inheritance Tax and Trusts & Estates.


Mike Duggan is an extremely experienced corporate lawyer and business advisor whose CV includes 27 years as a senior partner at a Tier 1 international law firm.


Adam Keith manages a team of 10 financial advisers at AMFA which he joined in 2016, after seven years at NatWest in both financial advice and compliance roles.


HWB Chartered Accountants, founded in 1985 and based at Chandler’s Ford, near Southampton, provides business and tax advice.


Hybrid Legal, founded in 2013 and based in Winchester, is an innovative, disruptor, fixed-fee law firm specialising purely in business law.


AMFA, established for 40 years and based in Southampton, Winchester and Bishop’s Waltham, has more than £500 million in assets under management. Register for the breakfast time event here.

Trojan, the trusted name in quality workwear, has launched its most advanced product range to date, a high-performance, multifunctional collection of trousers, jackets, gilets, fleeces and footwear, all Engineered to Perform.


With decades of experience manufacturing performance workwear for tradespeople, contractors and professionals, Trojan has adapted its range to suit modern demands. This insight has been woven into every seam, stitch and fibre of the new range, designed to be functional yet stylish.


The Trojan range also comes with more sustainable options made from durable fabric and reinforced features to increase the longevity of workwear that is used in tough working conditions. It also has extended washability meaning it can withstand more washes, retaining colour stability and not shrinking.


From lightweight layers to weatherproof outerwear, breathable fleeces to rugged footwear, each item in the collection has been expertly engineered for durability, comfort and performance, helping the garments withstand the strain on and off site, every single day.


The new range includes:


· Performance Trousers – Designed for durability, flexibility and all-day comfort, with reinforced stitching and movement-enhancing panels.


· Jackets & Gilets – Featuring weatherproof insulation and breathable linings for year-round protection.


· Fleeces – Lightweight and warm, crafted to layer effortlessly without restricting movement.


· Footwear – Built tough with comfort-first technologies, including advanced sole grip, shock absorption and GORE-TEX® options.


All Trojan products are designed to meet the needs of today’s tradespeople, combining fabric technology, rigorous testing, and clever design features to ensure high performance with no compromise on comfort or style.


Simon Allan-Brooks, Chief Commercial Officer at Arco said:

“Performance starts with what you wear, that’s why this range goes beyond the basics. We haven’t just made workwear – we’ve engineered every piece of clothing to elevate the wearer’s experience, combining innovative materials with Trojan’s deep understanding of the needs of workers. This range is designed to perform while providing more stylish options for workers nationally.”
