F1 isn’t just another racing movie, it’s an experience that manages to bottle the intensity, danger, and beauty of Formula 1 and put it on screen. As someone who’s loved the sport since childhood, I was struck by how emotionally authentic it felt. From the bone-rattling roar of the engines to the split-second drama of […]

When planning to book our summer breakaway week Albania wasn’t on our list of handful destinations, but eventually it managed to top the list, and I must say it surpassed all our expectations. After landing in Tirana, we drove to Durres with its miles’ long sandy coastal beach and after a relaxing evening and night […]

On the 12th September I had the privilege of watching the 2025 BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, getting to watch a field of some of the best golfers in the world, including the European Ryder Cup team up close. The event known as the “Festival of Golf” due to the offering […]

I love London but I’m not a Londoner. Stray too far north of the Thames and I’ll rapidly be lost. I wouldn’t even venture to the south because, well, why bother, right? But there is a place, nestled between the metropolises of the City of London and Canary Wharf that I love to spend time […]

After much recommendation from everyone a few months ago I visited Lake Garda in Italy. I stayed in a little town called Sirmione situated on the southern shores of Lake Garda at the end of a thin peninsula. Being the north most point where olive oil trees are grown in Europe for the production of […]

This time last year I visited a good friend of mine in Warsaw. For a change of scenery, we decided to spend a weekend in Krakow, staying in a lovely boutique hotel in the Jewish quarter. Having explored the many sights of the historical town the day before, the next day we took a short drive […]

Cricket might be known as a global sport, but its heartbeat truly lies in local communities. From small village greens to suburban parks, these cricket clubs and groups are where the game comes alive, and where it actually means something personal. Local cricket isn’t just about playing matches, it’s about belonging to a community of […]

Tot ziens, Nederlands! I recently had the opportunity to visit the Netherlands – my first (mostly) solo trip abroad. The first leg of my trip took place in Amsterdam, where I was able to take in the picturesque canals and the colourful canal houses aligning them. I always seemed to be on the move, whether on […]

Last weekend, we came together for the annual SGM-FX Summer Party — a fantastic day filled with great company, delicious food, music, and plenty of fun!  It was the perfect chance for the team to reconnect, relax, and reflect on all the hard work and progress we’ve made. We’re all excited for what’s ahead.  A […]

Whilst I enjoy packing my suitcases and jetting off in search for culture, adventure or guaranteed sunshine, I equally like to explore what the UK has to offer. One of my best-loved destinations to visit is the Norfolk Broads. Situated in East Anglia and popular with British holiday-makers, the broads is a unique area of waterways […]

In the course of my career I have been lucky enough to have worked at one time or another in all the major financial centres as well as in most other smaller regional cities. If London, New York and Tokyo are the largest markets where I have worked, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, Dubai, Riyadh, Kuwait, […]

If you’re chasing sunshine, swaying palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Punta Cana delivers a slice of Caribbean heaven that’s hard to top. I visited in June, and from the moment I landed, I was greeted with warm air, vibrant energy, and the feeling that something special was about to unfold.  For me the biggest highlight […]
