Descripción

In this episode of SRLV’s Not Just a Number, SRLV Partner Kieron Clement-Smith sits down with Jeff Hill, retired senior police officer, security expert and co-founder of Harrier Global, to explore the world of high-net worth security, organised crime, criminal targeting and physical asset protection. In this conversation, Jeff shares how that experience now informs his work with high-net worth individuals, ultra-high-net worth families, entrepreneurs, sports professionals, entertainers and those with high-value homes, assets and public profiles. The episode also explores the practical realities of protecting luxury homes, watches, jewellery, cars, handbags as well as family members and personal privacy. Jeff explains how criminals use open-source intelligence, social media, predictable routines, vehicle spotting, property records and lifestyle patterns to build a picture of potential targets before deciding how to act. Kieron and Jeff also discuss why physical security should be considered part of wider wealth protection, much like tax planning, estate planning or structuring family assets. For wealthy individuals, professional athletes, musicians, performers, entrepreneurs and international families, protecting wealth is not only about legal structures, trusts or financial planning - it is also about keeping people, property and valuable assets safe in the real world.

The VAT Fight That Could Save British Hospitality: Adam Hyman on Restaurants, High Streets and The Good Food Guide

In this episode of SRLV’s Not Just a Number, Partner and Executive Chairman Marc Voulters sits down with Adam Hyman, founder of CODE Hospitality and owner of The Good Food Guide, to discuss the state of British hospitality, the pressure facing restaurants, pubs and cafés, and the growing campaign to reduce VAT for the sector. Adam is one of the most connected voices in UK hospitality. Through CODE Hospitality, his industry newsletter and platform reaches tens of thousands of people across restaurants, food, drink and hotels. He is also the custodian of The Good Food Guide, one of Britain’s most respected restaurant guides, which has been championing great places to eat since 1951. The episode focuses on one of the biggest issues facing the sector today, the cost of doing business. Adam and Marc discuss the impact of Brexit, Covid, rising employment costs, national insurance changes, energy prices, reduced consumer spending and the pressure these challenges have placed on restaurants, pubs, cafés and hotels across the UK. A key focus of the episode is the “VAT’s The Problem” campaign, backed by major hospitality figures including Tom Kerridge, which is calling for VAT on hospitality to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

episode Music IP, Estate Planning and Catalogue Sales: Colin Newman on Protecting Royalties, Rights and Creative Wealth artwork

Music IP, Estate Planning and Catalogue Sales: Colin Newman on Protecting Royalties, Rights and Creative Wealth

In this episode of SRLV’s Not Just a Number, Director of Royalties Danny Fletcher sits down with Colin Newman, one of SRLV’s most experienced music industry specialists, to explore the complex world of music IP, estate planning, royalties, catalogue valuation and copyright ownership. Colin’s career spans decades across accountancy, business management, record labels, publishing, music rights and artist advisory. From starting out as a young accountant working with American jazz bands, pop groups and broadcasters, to building and selling a record label, Colin has spent his career working at the intersection of music, money, rights and relationships. In this conversation, Colin shares how his early love of records turned into a lifetime of helping artists, songwriters, estates and families understand the real value of their creative assets. He explains why music rights are not just financial assets, why proper estate planning is essential for successful artists and songwriters and why families often misunderstand how royalties, publishing income, master recordings and catalogue ownership work after death. The episode also explores the practical realities of valuing music catalogues, selling rights, understanding copyright terms, dealing with inheritance tax, negotiating with major labels and investment funds, and protecting beneficiaries from rushed decisions or poor advice. Colin explains why a catalogue sale is rarely just about the numbers, and why true value often depends on music knowledge, contract history, buyer appetite, market timing and trusted industry contacts. Discussion points in this episode include: * Building a record label and learning how music rights, licensing and distribution really work * Why music IP rights have grown significantly in value over recent decades * The importance of estate planning for artists, songwriters, producers and music industry professionals * How royalties are treated after death and why families often misunderstand income flows * Why music catalogues need proper documentation, contract reviews and rights analysis * The difference between publishing rights, master recordings and neighbouring rights * How catalogue valuations work and why multiples depend on more than historic earnings * How inheritance tax can affect estates holding valuable IP rights * How major labels, investment companies and catalogue buyers approach music rights acquisitions * Why SRLV’s music industry experience helps clients protect wealth, rights and legacy Key Moments: 00:00 – Music rights, royalties and “not just the numbers” 01:01 – Introducing Colin Newman and music industry accountancy 01:54 – Colin’s route into accountancy 04:56 – Working with 1960s music clients 08:00 – Recovering recording rights for artists 09:15 – Launching Action Replay and early compilation albums 12:14 – Buying record labels from liquidation 16:00 – Building trust with artists and restoring rights 19:00 – Estate planning for music IP 21:40 – How to value a music catalogue 23:58 – Why famous music estates end up in disputes 25:15 – US reversionary rights and UK copyright rules 31:00 – Why every music estate needs a “rights Bible” 33:00 – How music catalogue sales work 34:45 – Valuing catalogues using multiples of earnings 38:39 – What families misunderstand about royalties after death 39:45 – Should you sell a music catalogue sooner or later? 42:15 – Christmas songs, sync income and long-term royalty value 45:00 – Why multiple buyers matter in music catalogue sales 47:30 – Probate music IP values, tax mistakes and IHT planning 49:40 – Sync licensing and unpredictable catalogue value 54:20 – Don’t sign anything quickly after inheriting music rights 55:15 – Why doing nothing is not an estate planning strategy Prefer to watch?
