Welcome message from the CEO
I’m sure this year’s Alumni Matters’ theme – Staying Ahead of the Curve – is on all of our minds at the moment.
Our alumni remain an important part of the firm. Every one of you has contributed in your own way to the success of the firm today.
We follow your progress with pride and are delighted to profile your successes in Alumni Matters each year.
I hope you enjoy this edition.
