At the final Surrey IFP meeting for 2012 in November, as departing chairman Claire Menni reports, the branch welcomed Nick Clay of BNY Mellon in a mix of rice, spice and investment advice.
"Nick has a wonderful technique of dissecting the mirage of world events and fiscal matters into digestible chunks and communicating it in such a way to help members in turn to educate clients.

"His view of the world today was not as warm as the curry lunch – but there aren't many fund managers out there whose view of the economic climate is as hot as a dhal!
"As I look forward to taking over as London Branch chair for 2013, we welcome Wesley Harrison CFP^CM as Surrey branch chair.
Wes will bring his energy and enthusiasm to the branch (albeit with a newborn baby he may not be brimming with energy!) and I wish him well with his programme. Surrey is a fantastic branch and it is the members that make it such – keep up the support!
