Saturday 16th February I was delighted to be invited to be a guest on the Steve Bates Breakfast show on Saint FM  on 94.7 FM.

Saint FM are Maldon Districts Community Radio broadcasting from the heart of Burnham-on-Crouch and Maldon.  Steve Bates presents a breakfast show on Saturday 8-10am and Monday 7:30 – 10am.

I was invited on the show to discuss all things money.

To my pleasant surprise, there were a number of questions posed by listeners all of which I hope I answered fully and informatively.  It showed me that there is a real desire in the public domain to learn more about finance and issues of a financial nature.

I am hoping that my appearance on Saint FM will now be on a more regular basis to enable me to help answer some of those burning questions you may have.

New Chairman for The Maldon Business Association for 2013.

Paul Hoskin, owner of Hoskin Financial Planning, has taken over as Chairman of the Maldon Business Association from Mary Powell, partner of The Emporium, who has reluctantly stepped down due to pressures of work. “It has been a privilege and also great fun being Chairman and I’m proud of what we have achieved during the short period of our existence. However, the demands of our business, mean that I can no longer give the time that the role needs. I’m delighted that Paul has agreed to take over as his skills and knowledge will drive the MBA to its next stage of growth and continued success,” said Mary.

Paul is keen for the MBA to develop networking and sponsorship opportunities and a series of events and seminars is being arranged in the New Year at different times of the day to suit all businesses.

Commenting on his appointment, Paul said: This is a challenging time to take the helm of the Association but was looking forward to the challenges ahead that needed to be addressed and working along side Mary. Paul thanked Mary for all the hard work and time she had put in to get the MBA up and running and looked forward to working in the future to take the MBA to the next level within the local Maldon business community.

1st Hoskin Education Financial Workshop.

Hoskin Financial Educational Workshop

The first Hoskin Financial Education Workshop held at Benton Hall Golf Club, Hoskin Financial Educational Workshop Witham.  Monday 12^th November 2012.The format includes a chance to connect with like-minded business owners and to listen to ten minute educational talks from four experts in their field.Listen live to Paul Hoskin on Auto Enrolment at the Event.However after many weeks of organising, inviting and reminding, the morning finally comes and just to be a bit different the event was hosted by Darren Harker from Essex Event Management who did a great job setting the mood, introducing and providing the facilities for the presentations whilst Roger Webber from RWS Photography captured some great images.

The feedback from the attendees was positive, they enjoyed the education  aspect but in particular felt they learnt and gained something that morning that they could take away with them, all for the cost of a breakfast.

Whilst this is a new venture, our initial research highlighted a demand for such an event.  After feedback and discussions with potential partners we certainly feel this is something that business owners want.

Monday, 15^th October 2012.  I awoke to the day of my first appearance on radio. The week before, BBCEssex Radio had invited me to join a panel of experts for a round table discussion about “Is elderly care in crisis” on the Dave Monk show.  I was assured that it would be on Radio and not TV, which was lucky as I have a face for Radio, definitely not TV.

A very interesting debate was had about Elderly Care; some very passionate views about a subject which was obviously very close to people’s hearts
