Whatever you’re up to this weekend I hope it’s a good one. By the time you read this, I will be here. I’ve been invited to join a panel session on the future of technology for financial planners on Monday 25th. Very excited to have been asked to take part.
There will be no TWSH next week, but I’ll let you know how it went in a couple of weeks.
