Independent Advice steps up to the plate



Peter Johnston
Independent Advice has begun 2008 in full swing as the chief sponsor of the Independent Advice Claxton Shield Baseball Series, which commenced in Adelaide recently.
Independent Advice director Peter Johnston threw out the first pitch to begin the series, which will be hosted across Australia, wrapping up in early February.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Johnston said the series has so far been well received.
“The series has already proven itself an absolute boon for our members as they are attending the games in each state,” he said.
