STEP Norwich and Norfolk
The Norfolk and Norwich Branch of STEP is managed by a committee made up of a mixture of solicitors, accountants and tax advisers.We are fortunate in having local members who have a national standing in their fields such as Matthew Hutton and Toby Harris as well as others involved in the management of STEP on a national level including training and examinations.
We are currently seeking to extend our seminar programme to seven or eight a year, offering a wide range of subjects presented both by national speakers such as Chris Whitehouse, Lesley King and Richard Frimston as well as using the talent we have locally, whether by way of lawyers, IFAs and/or professionals in agriculture and valuation.
Average attendances at our seminars is in excess of 30 people with subject matter, location and timings arranged to reflect feedback such that our meetings are at different locations, either during the afternoon or early evening and with food and drink provided during the interval to facilitate networking.
Our May seminar is arranged in conjunction with the East Anglia Branch of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, with whom we have close ties. We also work closely with the local Law Society and other local profession training providers to avoid duplication and to offer a good cross section of training to local professionals whether or not members of STEP.
This year we have also arranged a social event in conjunction with a local firm of IFAs.
