This year saw our very own Michael Arnold and Mike Mayne (the two not wearing the tutu's) compete in a hardcore 12 mile-long obstacle course designed by the Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie.

In September, four employees of TM Group (UK) Ltd helped to raise over £900 for a local charity, by participating in a 10,00ft skydive at the Redlands Airfield in Wanborough.

TM was delighted to be headline sponsors again of the 2013 Law Firm Services Conveyancing Conference “How law firms interact with the customer”.

The conference, now in its 5^th year, is one of the highlights of the conveyancing calendar and this year’s line-up did not disappoint. Delegates listened to a wide range of speakers from residential conveyancing including Peter Rodd, Chair of the Law Society Property Section, Nick Larkins of Lloyds Banking Group and Sheila Kumar, Chief Executive of the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Our own Ben Harris also took to the stage to talk about the battle between property professionals and criminals and highlighted some of the tools available to enable conveyancers to protect themselves from fraudsters such as AML search, Jet convey and Lawyer Checker.

The conference was followed in the evening by a glittering awards ceremony that recognised the best conveyancers in the business many of who are existing TM customers.

Our ever growing population has an insatiable appetite for energy.  A dependence on imported fossil fuels had propelled the need to seek alternative resources to maintain our energy resilience.
