Carbon — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 09:00:19 +0000

Carbon is proud to announce that Financial Planner, John Bell, has been awarded Chartered Financial Planner status, adding to the status of Certified Financial Planner which he was awarded earlier this year by the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP).

These qualifications recognise advanced technical knowledge and the ability to formulate complex financial plans, adding to the numerous Financial Planning qualifications John already holds.

The IFP’s Certified Financial Planner qualification is the only globally recognised mark of excellence in the field and is a fantastic achievement which recognises John’s dedication to furthering his already comprehensive technical knowledge.

The Personal Finance Society (PFS) describes its Chartered status as “the pinnacle” for any financial planning professional.

John joins Gordon Wilson and Barry O’Neill to enter the elite band of Financial Planners to achieve both Chartered and Certified statuses.

Perth Kilt Run

Carbon — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:05:35 +0000

On Saturday 2nd June, the people of Perth will be attempting to break the world record for the world’s largest Kilt Race. This record attempt will form part of Perth’s highly anticipated Diamond Jubilee celebrations, with the goal of encouraging 2,000 or more runners, all wearing kilts, to complete the 8km course.

Perth in Canada currently holds the record for the world’s largest Kilt Race, with 1,089 completing the challenge in 2010.

The race will be taking place, not only to attempt a world record, but also to raise money for the ABF Soldiers’ Charity and PKAVS.

Carbon’s Mark Christie, Michael Wilson and Stephen Rowntree will be donning their kilts and taking up the challenge on 2nd June, joining other local businesses and individuals who are keen to get in shape for summer whilst providing support to the local community.

If you are interested in taking part yourself, coming along to support on the day, or just looking for further details about the event, please visit the website.

Carbon Takes on the Caledonian Challenge

Carbon — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:47:00 +0000

Four fearless Carbon trailblazers have enlisted for the 2012 Caledonian Challenge, taking place on 16th June.

In a nutshell, the challenge is to walk 54 miles through the Scottish Highlands in under 24 hours. The organisers point out that it is the physical equivalent of completing the London Marathon twice, plus, in terms of the total amount of ups and downs, two ascents of Ben Nevis – all without sleep. Reassuringly, they add ‘It is tough – but it is achievable’.

The Scottish Community Foundation (SCF) is a super charity which champions hundreds of local community based projects throughout Scotland. The reach of the organisation is staggering; the ‘grant map’ on SCF’s website gives some idea of the charity’s coverage – from the Shetland Isles to the Scottish Borders.

Carbon crew of Stephen Rowntree, Claire Scott, Darren Lees and John Bell join Sue Bird and Jennifer Smith from Springfords Chartered Accountants to form the ‘Carbonated SpringWalkers’. Take a deep breath before trying to say the name!

The team is hitting the fundraising trail hard over the coming weeks. Donations are gratefully received online via the following link.
