I am currently unwell and unable to respond to any emails. If your message
is urgent, please send it to [email address]. Thank you. Esther

Dear Laura,

Following receipt of your email, I asked the Finance Department for further information. The response is as follows:

" The funds for Helen Gregory and Dulcie Mayne Stephens are held internally. The funds for Santander are held in a deposit account and not invested on our behalf."

Please find an Excel Spreadsheet attached for the breakdown of the £14.8m from KW Wealth.

I hope this completes the request for you.

With best wishes,
