WELCOME | S C R U T T O N B L A N D | W I N T E R 2 0 1 6 | Welcome to the winter issue of Adviser magazine. In this issue we take a closer look at one of the region’s biggest business sectors: property and construction. ADVISER spoke to Gipping Construction about one of their most interesting recent builds, and we look at the issue of the skills gap within the industry. If you are planning a business construction project, do read our Top 10 Tips for financial project management. Have you ever bought anything at auction? Colchester auction house Reeman Dansie have been holding sales since 1881. ADVISER found out how electronic bidding is transforming the auction world, and how Oriental art is one of the fastest growing areas for collectors. Lastly, we have been delighted to feature the work of photographer Stephen Belcher in previous editions of ADVISER . We finally caught up with Stephen in between photo shoots for some of the UK’s biggest brands, and find out how good commercial photography can transform the image of your business. We always welcome your feedback on ADVISER . If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know at marketing@scruttonbland.co.uk
