Club Magazine 2026

Welcome to our digital copy of The Club magazine, which we are delighted to share with you and we hope you find it both entertaining and insightful.

This year, the magazine centres around a theme that touches all of us at different stages in life – fear. While it is not always an easy subject, putting this edition together reminded us how often moments of discomfort or challenge can lead to growth, resilience and new perspective.

Within the magazine, we share several fascinating conversations with people who have faced very different kinds of pressure and uncertainty. Carrington client Mark Richardson reflects openly on resilience, mindset and navigating difficult periods in life and business. We also speak with Lucy Gossage – an oncology consultant and elite endurance athlete – whose experiences offer a remarkable insight into determination, perspective and pushing beyond perceived limits. In addition, Jess McGawley of Dallington shares her own thoughtful reflections on fear and how she supports the younger generation in navigating life decisions and personal growth amid the pressures of family wealth.

Alongside these interviews, we explore how emotions and uncertainty can influence financial decisions, particularly during periods of market volatility. There are also features looking at the importance of long-term planning and the reassurance that thoughtful protection planning can provide when life takes unexpected turns. You’ll also get an insight into Carrington through another of our ‘day in the life’ articles!

As always, our aim with The Club is to create something a bit different – a collection of stories, ideas and conversations that we hope resonate with you and that you genuinely enjoy reading.

We hope there is something within these pages that captures your interest and perhaps even a new conversation.

If any of the topics in this edition strike a chord, we would be very happy to discuss them further with you.

Enjoy!
