The London base will be led by former professional rugby player and chartered financial planner Jason Baggott, who heads Tweed Sports jointly with Ross Penman. Mr Baggott said: 'We've seen first-hand how an increasing number of athletes, particularly in football and rugby, are actively seeking specialist financial guidance to assist them during and after their careers. Read more: 'Our expansion into London allows us to work even more closely with a growing client base and their wider support networks – from agents and accountants to legal and media teams. 'Athletes deserve financial advice that's bespoke to their world, along with clarity around its risks, rewards, and timelines. Our job is to help them maximise opportunities, avoid common pitfalls, and plan for long-term stability once they leave the field for the last time.' Edinburgh-based Tweed said the new London office, based in the heart of the city on Lombard Street, will offer specialist investment advice, support with retirement planning and inheritance tax strategies, and mortgage and protection solutions. It will collaborate with trusted sports accountants and lawyers to deliver a 'seamless, end-to-end wealth management service for clients in the sporting world,' the firm said.

Tree falls on car on A84 and tree removed from overhead railway line as Storm Floris batters Stirling
Main road routes in Stirling have been blocked as the storm continues to blow through the region. There are reports of multiple incidents on the A84 near Callander – including a tree falling on top of a car and a collision – as Storm Floris continues to batter the area. The A84 is currently blocked as a result of a fallen tree on the carriageway there, close to the Cambusmore and Keltie Bridge area. Stirling MSP Evelyn Tweed detailed how the tree landed on top of a vehicle, adding 'thankfully those in the vehicle have not been seriously injured'. Ms Tweed added: 'Please avoid the area at present. 'Wind gusts are anticipated to peak late afternoon and early evening so the risk of fallen trees, branches and debris remains for the remainder of the day. Please plan ahead and take care if travelling.' At around 1.20pm, Traffic Scotland provided details on a collision on the A84 at Keltie Bridge. By 2.25pm, they added: 'Road remains restricted in both directions due to a collision. 'Road users are advised to approach with caution and expect longer journey times.' Earlier in the day, a tree fell on to the overhead line at the Cornton level crossing in Stirling. Network Rail engineers attended the location on Monday morning and the broken tree, which had been straddling the overhead line was removed.
