Last month, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) detailed how the average house price in the UK was £286,397 - a rise of more than two-thirds (68.4 per cent) in the course of the last decade. It is of no small concern for Englishmen, women
In a sense, the end of a financial year for any business has echoes of December the 31st for the rest of the general population. It offers the opportunity to reflect on progress made and the intended direction of travel for the future. However, that consideration is usually more sober - and, hopefully, with an absence of fireworks - than New Year's Eve. As I
Having insurance cover certainly provides peace of mind. Yet the reason why we put cover in place is more than merely psychological. It means that should our loved ones, our property or our businesses experience theft, damage or death, we will either be able to repair the physical or commercial injury, or be adequately compensated for our loss.

In addition to the enormous impact which the Covid-19 pandemic had on global health, its indirect effects on the world's economy look set to be felt well into the future.

The process of combatting the threat of Covid-19 has arguably been transformative for the UK. Nevertheless, after two years which seemed to present us with a number of terrible milestones, we will reach another more upbeat anniversary next month.
