SGM-FX company news

I’ve always loved a market. Probably a good job I ended up working in one in the form of the foreign exchange market. As those new joiners (un)fortunate enough to join my team will find out, I don’t see financial markets as all that different to those traditional non-financial markets. They are governed by the […]

Being an avid, almost fanatical Bond fan for the last forty or so years, I naturally had quite an emotional reaction to the finale of Daniel Craig’s tenure as Ian Fleming’s iconic character.  The film generally received positive reviews, praising the action sequences and the emotional depth brought to the character of Bond – but […]

2023 was another challenging year, and 1st of May ‘Workers Day’ the beginning of another chapter in my working career, and this time it started here in London. Although this was not my first day at the new office being a bank holiday, it was an amazing day, beautiful weather which I seemed to have […]

Previous business trips over the past 40 years had not prepared me for the October SGM-FX Malta Board Meeting. Indeed regular monthly visits to Valletta the island’s capital had not given any indication that this time things were definitely going to be different.  The Board Meeting itself was as it turned out uneventful and passed […]

I have recently moved to the East side of London, and as I began to look for sporting opportunities, something very exciting popped up. Open water swimming at the Royal Docks. At the time it seemed like a great idea: a nice swim on a Saturday morning, followed by a late breakfast in the neighbouring […]

Diving into ‘The 48 Laws of Power’ by Robert Greene is like taking a crazy ride through the world of strategy and cunning.

We all know the daily grind can be exhausting but fear not! Camden’s nightlife is here to rescue your soul from the mundane routine. So, grab your […]

Over the previous weekend I managed to tick off a bucket list gig of mine and whilst we weren’t in da club I guess the OVO at Wembley sufficed! If the pun didn’t give it away, then it was none other than THE Curtis Jackson aka Fiddy aka 50 Cent. On a worldwide tour celebrating […]

In addition to running, I also enjoy taking the time to read a good old fashion three-dimensional book. Here is a review of my latest: Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” is a timeless journey through the vastness of the universe that transcends its original television series format to become a masterpiece in popular science literature. Originally published in […]

Every year my wife and I try and get away for trips to different areas of the UK. Out of all the places that we visit, we find ourselves returning down to Cornwall where we can explore so many different and stunning areas all within such close distance of each other. Whilst I cannot do […]

I was recently lucky enough to visit Santorini. A Greek Island based in the southern Aegean Sea famous amongst visitors for its stunning sunsets, whitewashed buildings with blue domes and crystal-clear waters.  Staying in Fira, the capital of the island, I was easily able to navigate my way around using the very reasonably priced and […]

As is annual tradition at SGM-FX, every January we hold a Bake-Off competition.  I’ve been lucky enough to have been placed a few times but imagine my delight (and amazement!) when I was voted 1st prize this year for my blueberry and pear galette.  If you like a not too sweet, easy to make, treat, […]
