Auto-Enrolment SeminarOn the 11th of February, Navigator held a seminar at the Belmont Hotel in Banbridge
with the aim of educating local business owners on Auto – Enrolment. Geoff Clarke
from Xafinity and Iain Ferguson from the Workers Pension Trust were in attendance to
offer expert advice on the subject. Geoff spoke about the rules and regulations
surrounding Auto-Enrolment, the employer’s obligations and how to implement
them. Iain then spoke about the role of the Workers Pension Trust and how it
operates.
Sponsorship Deal
At the start of the season, Navigator became proud sponsors of Kilkeel Hockey Club. The 2XI team’s kit is sponsored by the company, and Navigator are delighted to be able to support a local club in the community. We would like to wish the teams all the best for the remainder of the season.
Investment issues
As many of you will have noticed, over the last 6 months the markets have been fairly poor. We are aware that this can be a worry to some, but we would like to reiterate that the markets behave in a cyclical fashion, and that the rise and fall are all part of the cycle. In fact, they are beginning to level out as we speak, and we are hopeful that this will continue.
Navigator were delighted to host a meeting of the EBIS group earlier in the year. The EBIS group meets regularly to discuss the latest thinking in investment research and how this might help their clients, and to share ideas about best practice in financial planning.
EBIS GroupInvestment Strategy Meeting held at Navigator
Another new addition… In January, Mark Buchanan came on board the Navigator team as a new Financial Planning Analyst. We asked him a few questions about how he is getting on.
Q1 - What do you enjoy about Financial Planning?
As I came straight from school, I didn't know much about financial planning. Since joining Navigator every day is a learning curve for me, which is more enjoyable than you'd think.
Q2 – What is it like to work for Navigator?
Working for Navigator is key experience that cannot be bought, and I have learned that planning and organisation is key when it comes to dealing with money. If you are able to manage your finances/money then it will help you to live a life you can afford.
Q3 - What are your plans for the future?
My plans for the future are still unknown: I am currently on a gap year between school and University. Working for Navigator has helped me to reach a decision to continue in the maths/finance route in life.
