Week in review: Friday 29th May 2015

It’s been half term week here at Informed Choice, with a few days off here and there.

This week we’ve written about income independence day, regulating the non-regulated and what the Queen’s speech means for your personal finances.

In our latest weekly podcast episode, Martin interviewed Michelle Hoskin of Standards International about what it means to be a WOW! financial adviser.

If there is anything you would like us to write about in the blog or talk about in the podcast, please let us know.

We hope you’ve had a good week, whether working or playing, and wish you a great weekend.
