After a couple of years where foreign holidays were pretty much off limits, the travel industry is currently experiencing a slight revival with people jetting off on holiday for some much-needed rest and relaxation. And for many, this involves taking to the slopes to indulge in fresh powder skiing or snowboarding. Skiing, although relaxing and fun, can also be considered an extreme sport, with accidents on the slopes commonplace due to skiers hitting rocks, trees or indeed colliding with other people. If you are planning a ski holiday, as well as getting the right equipment and understanding proper ski techniques and chair lift etiquette, it is important to stay safe and plan for any mishaps.

We are seeking to recruit a motivated candidate to lead on the firm's document scanning tasks on a full-time basis as part of the firm's drive towards a paperless office. The role will be based in our Perth office and provide lunchtime cover for our full-time Receptionist. There may be travel to our other branches within Perthshire and driving licence would be preferable.

A settlement agreement is a type of legal contract that helps to resolve disputes among parties by coming to a mutual agreement on the terms. If you have been affected, or are likely to be affected, by the recent news about OVO, and you expect your employment contract to come to an end, then you may be asked to sign a Settlement Agreement. OVO Energy, one of Perth's largest employers, is expected to cut a quarter of its staff as it struggles with soaring energy prices and taking on new customers from a rival supplier. The company told staff last week that around 1,700 people would lose their jobs.

The recent news that hundreds of jobs are to be shed as OVO undertakes a massive restructuring programme will come as a major disappointment to many employees working at the Perth energy company. SSE and OVO are one of Perth's largest employers, and the restructure will see OVO (who bought the SSE retail division two years ago) close its office at Grampian House on Dunkeld Road. If you are an OVO employee in Perth and are concerned about a voluntary redundancy offer, the below information may answer some questions that you have. Our team are available to discuss your situation with you, and you can get in contact with us for advice on your specific circumstances.
