Jillian Thomas, our MD, will run the masterclasses with Jay Bhayani hosting them at her company’s offices in the centre of Sheffield.

The first masterclass, in September, is entitled ‘Creating a financial plan and pensions uncovered’.

Jillian said: “There are a lot of great business people and business owners in Sheffield offering great products and services. But they may be held back simply because they lack some financial knowledge. We want to do our bit to give business owners and directors more confidence, particularly those who are thinking about how and when they might retire.

“By doing that we know we can help businesses thrive and grow, and that is good for the individuals, the companies they run and the wider economy.”

Jay, director of Bhayani HR and Employment Law, said: “We are delighted to team up with Jillian and her team. People are so busy concentrating on their core business that future plans and aspirations are often neglected. Jillian’s expertise will be invaluable to get directors thinking about their financial health.”

The masterclasses will be held at Bhayani Law’s offices on Shoreham Street and will run from 4.30pm to 6.00pm, with the first on September 4. The second on October 28 will look at investments and life assurance. And the third, on December 9, will be a chance to pull it all together in a plan, with opportunities for one-to-one sessions with Jillian and her team at a later date. All the classes must be booked in advance.

Bhayani HR and Employment Law specialises in all areas of employment law and HR services. The award-winning firm is one of the UK’s only niche firms offering a one stop service from HR to employment law.
