Yesterday we hosted our live Autumn Budget event at The Moat House, Acton Trussel — and what a day it was.
BBC Radio Stoke joined us in the room to gauge real-time reactions from our clients: business owners, farmers, retirees, and those financially independent. It was brilliant to see such a diverse group sharing their views live on air.
Ahead of the Chancellor’s statement, I joined Clare Ashford on BBC Radio Shropshire for a pre-Budget conversation… and then again this morning on BBC Radio Stoke and BBC Radio Shropshire to break down the detail and explain what this messy, disjointed, “jack-in-the-box” Budget really means for people across our region.
At Deans Wealth Management, our role is simple:
Cut through the noise. Make the complex feel clear. Help people build confidence in their financial future.
And this Budget needed that more than most.
From frozen tax thresholds until 2031, to ISA upheaval, dividend and rental tax hikes, updates to business and agricultural relief IHT caps, a new mansion tax, and changes to pension salary sacrifice NI relief cuts — the implications run deep for business owners, professionals, and families planning for the long term.
Alongside Richard Stonier from Deans Accountants, we guided clients through the key takeaways, the market response, and the practical steps that matter for their life plans — not just their balance sheets.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, to BBC Radio Stoke and BBC Shropshire for the coverage, and to our clients for sharing their experiences live on air.
Our full Budget Briefing will be shared on our website shortly — keep an eye out.
