With a turbulent UK economy, the financial sector, particularly investment banking and private equity, is seeing unprecedented job cuts. Hardly surprising with reports of third-quarter earnings falling well below expectation, and several banks, such as Goldman Sachs, culling staff for the first time since 2019. Approximately 10% of Berenberg’s investment banking employees have lost their jobs; and the slump in deals is set to trigger a new wave of redundancies for HSBC staff. The global economic crisis and poor performance is causing many financial institutions to remove “expensive” or “surplus” headcount at many levels. If you find yourself facing redundancy,…

Bathrooms are becoming far more sustainable with ways of limiting water usage, sustainably produced products and more space and less clutter. Basins are now…
