Mon 25 Mar. 2019

Hello to all. Here we are in March and into Spring already. However, it feels decidedly chilly to me having just returned from two weeks working in Mumbai.

Vulnerable Customers

Tue 22 Jan. 2019

We had a full house on Tuesday 22nd January when members of our institute turned out in full force at our Colchester venue to attend our 'Vulnerable Customers' lunchtime lecture.

There was some insight as to what we might expect for the future and we all left with a feeling that we need to act now to be prepared! The slides from the event are attached here.
