Proud of our partnership with CTT Group! What an amazing night at the British Wills and Probate Awards 2023

We couldn't be more proud of Clive, Andrew & Bob, directors of CTT Group, the headline sponsors of the British Wills and Probate Awards 2023.  Clive's keynote speech talked about their 20 years in business and their focus on innovation and software enabling them to lead the industry and change the world of estate planning for the better.

As software development partners for CTT, Dan & I were there representing Start Software to support Clive and the CTT team.

Plenty of CTT freebies on the table

What a venue the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is!

Our table was full of interesting people from the industry and the evening flew by - even with 26 awards to present!

Our new Legacy Portal app was launched at the event, giving clients direct access to the new, personalised, interactive estate planning reports.

Jennie Bond was presenting the awards for the 6th (and, sadly, last) time and was great fun and the ultimate professional, as usual.  She was as good on the dancefloor as she was on stage, too!

Congratulations to all of the winners of the awards presented during the event.  We're still very proud of our 2022 Legal Supplier of the Year award, for our Alpha Legal service.

Director Andrew Houston was ever-present at the ceremony and introduced the innovation award to the audience.

Last, and by no means least, there was another software announcement - the launch of the AI Client Simulator, part of the adviser training offering from CTT.  We have been working on this with Piers Linney and Aalok Shukla, co-founders of Implement AI.  

Advisers can test their skills and knowledge, talking to a variety of AI-powered simulated clients.  It's incredible tech and we're thrilled to be bringing this to the UK legal market for the first time.
