February Team News: Our Spotify Playlist
It feels a little late to say it, and doesn’t seem like much has changed in the world – but nonetheless, Happy New Year to all of our clients from everyone at Vizion Wealth! There is more positivity going forward now with our brilliant vaccine roll-out, so props to the NHS for making this happen! The end is nigh.
December Team News
The infamous year of 2020 is finally coming to an end – what a tough one it has been. I’m sure each and every one of us are tired of the words ‘pandemic,’ ‘covid,’ and ‘lockdown’, so let us try to make the last few weeks of 2020 as positive as possible, with hope for a better year in 2021.
November Team News
As we find ourselves in another national Lockdown, we are collectively trying to remain as positive as possible that things can get back to a new-normal in 2021; although, having adjusted to working from home life for many of us, it brings its own benefits that we can continue to enjoy in the meantime.
September Team News
As more COVID guidelines come into place, it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to organise group activities, make plans with family and friends, and enjoy any type of social events. Our Vizion Wealth team building outing of clay pigeon shooting has unfortunately been postponed due to the rule of six prohibiting all the staff from getting together.
August Team News
As we try to get back to a level of normality, the staff at Vizion Wealth have been trying to make the most of the post-lock down summer, whilst also adhering to the government safety guidelines in and out of the working environment.
April Team News
Firstly, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Tax Year! Although it may not be the start of the new year that we were all expecting to have, the staff at Vizion Wealth have smoothly adjusted to virtual working and have been keeping as busy as ever with closing off 2019/20 and preparing for the new tax year.
January Team News
Alas, January is over and we enter the shortest month of the year. So far in February we’ve had Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis… god knows who else is coming for us! Let’s hope the depletion of our ozone layer enters a period of recovery and our wonderful politicians of the world aid us in combatting the issue of global warming. I hope you have all managed to safe during the turbulent weather conditions.

October Team News
Mid-November means it’s acceptable to play Christmas songs, right?! Whether you love it or hate it, it’s unavoidable, so we might as well just accept it and get involved!

June Antics in the VW Office – Glasto, Isle of Wight, City Breaks & More
In June, the Vizion Wealth team (and I’m sure everybody else in the country) had a chance to appreciate the miraculous sunshine we’ve had over the last few weeks! We have all been working very hard and some of the team also had the chance to enjoy some time out of the office. Thanks to the Vizion Wealth partners, the highlight was spending a team building day at Alton Towers! I must say, I think we were all most impressed by the Smiler rollercoaster (apart from Corinne who suffered one minor incident after the ride).
Team News: Working Hard and Playing Hard…
As you know from last month’s blog, our advisers Andrew and James went cycling around France to help raise money for the Milton Keynes Rugby Club and the Aspire charity. I am pleased (and surprised) to report there were no injuries, and everything went smoothly. Even though they found it hard work, the team mentality and group spirit got them through the days, and they were able to reward themselves with a few beers and glasses of wine on the way...
Team News: Relaxing Breaks, the Inca Trail and Next Stop Ibiza…
May is now upon us, which means summer is around the corner!

They saw some beautiful sights in the Farne Islands including nesting Hardy Puffins, and even spotted some dolphins on the boat ride back...

Team News: Wedding Planning, Charity Fundraising and a feature in The Times!
The shortest month of the year is now over, and we’ve been lucky enough to have some wonderfully sunny days!

Team News: Starting as we mean to go on!
So after the Christmas break, Vizion Wealth have got off to a busy start to the New Year! After attending various seminars and lectures on the hot topic – DB transfers – we have introduced a new cash flow planning system that we will be using going forward - CashCalc. Our paraplanner, Mel, has been working hard to get to grips with its technicalities and complexities, and together we can see the valued benefit it will add to cash flow planning for our clients...
