SGM-FX company news

Each morning I hear my alarm clock going off.  The unexpected but at the same time expected sound that takes me from the dreamland to the real world to start my daily routine. Getting ready to go to work, making breakfast for the family, helping the kids with their uniforms and lunch boxes and a […]

When I first told my colleagues that I am travelling to Panama, they all seemed a bit shocked. Why would a Compliance Officer want to visit a country famous for its historic compliance issues? Back then, I didn’t have a precise answer, but a ‘why not?’. Well, now I have a few more words to […]

Following the interesting and certainly diverse blogs on here from my colleagues, I knew I had to go big with my one. So, I decided to enter and compete in one of the biggest fitness races ever held with over 7,500 athletes attending across 2 days. And it was right here in London. You probably […]

In my opinion there is nothing better than spending quality time with your friends in the busy world we live in today.

I have recently embarked on a life changing journey, becoming a father for the first time. Initially excited when hearing the news but also slightly apprehensive for what was about to happen, I started to plan for my new adventure into the unknown.  As the months rapidly progressed and the due date crept ever closer, the […]

Wednesday night the Mansion House bore witness to the first of two major dinners held by the Worshipful Company of International Bankers (WCIB). A luxurious room was packed full of WCIB members and their guests with nine long tables protruding from one at the top, and at table eight sat our own Humphrey, Mireille, Jamie, […]

I have long been a lover of watching live sport and was fortunate enough to get tickets for London 2012 Olympics (boxing) and Paralympics (swimming & athletics). I’ve also been to various other Athletics events and watched the Formula One British Grand Prix. My greatest sporting passion though is to watch Rugby Union and Football. I’ve completed a […]
