How have pensions and investments been affected?

From the perspective of Will Cox - pensions transfer specialist at Littlewick Wealth Management

Understanding the political and economic climate is an important part of business decision making in every sector.  However, business owners are often too busy to analyse and process what is going on around them.

That’s why SiGNAL are launching ‘Emma’s Topical Ten’, a series of ten minute interviews that look  at current events through the eyes of a business owner in a particular sector. We hope that the series will help to keep you fully informed with everything you need to know for your business.

Episode 1 The New Government and The Growth Plan for 2022 - Presented to Parliament Sept 23 2022

But what did small business owners in the housing and financial sectors make of the economic and political rollercoaster? And with their expert knowledge of finance and housing what advice do they have for us?
