Protect your retirement nest egg from a market crash

Join us for Plastic Free July
The Britannia team have signed up for Plastic Free July which means that we’ve joined the #ChooseToRefuse global challenge, and we’d love you to join us. Quite a few of our team members are already doing a pretty good job at looking after the environment but we wanted to band together as a team to learn more about how we can live without single-use plastic and hopefully make a bigger impact.
When you register for the challenge you are automatically provided with tips and tools to help you understand the impact of single-use plastic and how you can eliminate it from your daily life. What’s not to love about that?
We look forward to reporting back in our next newsletter to share our learnings and how we’ve changed for the better both in the Britannia office and at home.
