SGM-FX company news

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, […]

You should have deduced from our employee blogs that there are a few fairly competent athletes within the hallowed walls of SGM-FX and SGM-FX Malta. You should not mistake my contributions to those blogs for evidence that I would exude even a bead of competency within a sporting arena. I’m the proud holder of the […]

October is knocking at our doorstep, and it is the month of the yearly Rolex Middle Sea Race, probably the most important event our majestic grand harbour has, for the past few years, started to host as the starting point. Over 100 sailing boats, from the world class trimarans and monohulls to the 30 metre […]

Having been fortunate enough to have driven some of the greatest coast roads in the world, it was with some anticipation that I set out from Inverness in June 2021. Not that I was expecting the northernmost part of Scotland to be like the Great Ocean Road in Southern Australia, nor like Highway One on […]

After finally having the opportunity to visit at the beginning of last year, and having been twice more since, I’ve concluded that Dubai might just be the best city in the world. Whether you want to visit the tallest skyscrapers, smash the dunes of the desert in an ATV, or simply bask in the sun […]

Although the weather in London doesn’t feel much like summertime this year, it’s never a bad time to enjoy a fresh salad and try out a new homemade dressing to go with it! Ingredients (for the dressing) Method

Out of the house for multiple hours and a (questionably) acceptable reason to have a drink at any time of the day aren’t the only reasons to play golf, but they definitely help. Every weekend I head off full of hope that this will be the round where I break 80 as part of my […]

The month of July welcomes Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, to the capital. The crowds flock to SW19 in anticipation ready to watch the world’s greatest tennis players go head-to-head on grass, competing in what is widely regarded as the most prestigious competition of them all.  Having previously partaken in the very British tradition […]

This blog is going back to a holiday just before the pandemic locked down the UK. I had a ‘trip of a lifetime’ booked in mid-Feb 2020 and whilst Covid news was mainly focused on China and the steady increase into Europe, it seemed a world away from affecting us (little did we know!). The […]

Time for a quiz: what do carrots, broccoli, garlic, raspberries and cauliflower all have in common. Wrong, they are not just mainstay within the diet of our vegan friend Michael, they are also the vegetables (and one pesky fruit) that have caused great existential angst. For those of you quite rightly questioning why I’ve been […]

Having always lived in Malta and surrounded by our beautiful sea and varied shoreline, it was natural to love the sea and the peacefulness that it can give us humans. At various stages of my life I was lucky to enjoy having a variety of boats to further enjoy the sea and out at shore, […]

As regular readers of the SGM-FX Daily Brief know, I am a music fan and although not a regular concert goer, I like to go to big name concerts whenever I get the opportunity. Having been a fan of Elton John’s since the early 70’s when he was producing arguably some of his finest songs […]
