Appleton Times – December 2022
FINAL APPLETON TIMES OF A CHALLENGING 2022
Despite a remarkably difficult 2022 and the continuing pressures we all live under, not least of which is creeping inflation, high interest rates, political strife and power cuts that would make Bing Crosby think twice about his annual song, we have reason to be more optimistic about 2023.
Covid-19 is currently under control and many of us are fully vaccinated, boosted and better equipped to deal with the pandemic’s threats. On the economic front, despite lingering systemic challenges both globally and locally, all indicators are pointing towards a better 2023.
From an Appleton perspective, one of the most encouraging features of 2022 has been just how much more engagement and communication we have had with our clients. As the Fiduciary Specialists, this is what we live for and it is extremely gratifying to enjoy these levels of communication with you.
Before concluding, however, at this special time of the year, we want to make an appeal to our readers to join Appleton in supporting the Spirit Foundation (https://spiritf.org/) and the marvellous work carried out by its three underlying entities, namely: the Spirit Education Foundation (https://spiritf.org/education-foundation/), the Spirit Community Foundation (https://spiritf.org/community-foundation/) and the Spirit Wildlife Foundation (https://spiritf.org/spirit-wildlife-foundation/).
Appleton Directors and staff support all three foundations and participate in their activities as part of our company’s corporate citizenship. 100% of all donations go directly to the Foundations’ programmes and as a donor you will know exactly where your contribution will be applied.
Kindly be advised that our offices will be closing from Friday the 23rd of December 2022 to Friday the 6th of January 2023, we will, however, be available on our Toll-free number 0800 50 60 70 from 9am to 12pm on all business days. Should you require our assistance outside of these business hours, please leave a voice message and we will return your call as soon as possible. Please enjoy the read, and we wish you and your nearest and dearest a splendid festive season and a prosperous New Year.
