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.

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!

I hope you have all managed to safe during the turbulent weather conditions.

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...
