What a brilliant day the Ovation team had this week at Purposefest at Bristol Beacon. 🌿
It was fantastic to spend the day surrounded by people and organisations who are passionate about using business as a force for good.
We had some really thoughtful conversations at our stand about financial wellbeing, sustainable investing and aligning money with meaning. It was inspiring to hear how many people are thinking about the role their finances can play in creating positive impact in their lives and in the wider world.
We also loved sharing a bit more about our B Corp journey. Becoming a Certified B Corporation in 2024 was a huge milestone for us and it was great to connect with others who are on similar paths.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us and a special thank you to Andy Hawkins for bringing such a thoughtful and inspiring event together.
We came away feeling energised, hopeful and very grateful to be part of a growing community of purpose led businesses. 🙌

Your trust and partnership are what make our work meaningful.
A quick reminder of our Christmas office hours:

"How the chancellor just took a chunk out of your future pay” – The BBC
Yet another emotive headline designed to grab attention.
Tax thresholds have frozen again, and for many, frustration follows quickly behind. Especially when coupled with headlines like this.
But while the headlines focus on what’s being taken, we help clients focus on what can be built. When your financial plan already builds in buffers, you can move forward with confidence rather than alarm.
At Ovation, we don’t react to headlines, we help you understand what they truly mean for your story, your goals, your version of a good life.
If you’re unsure how this shift fits into your plan, we’re here to help you find clarity.

We’re hard on ourselves when it comes to money.
🧠 “I should’ve saved more.”
😔 “I always get it wrong.”
🤫 “I’m too embarrassed to ask for help.”
But here’s the truth: managing money isn’t just practical — it’s emotional.
We recently spoke with certified money coach Dennis Harhalakis about why kindness is a powerful (and often overlooked) part of financial wellbeing.
His take?
“Money is most powerful when it’s used to strengthen relationships — not just increase wealth.”
That includes the relationship you have with yourself.
