IFA Talk

In this fascinating episode of IFA Magazine's weekly podcast, Dan Crossley, Executive Director of the Food Ethics Council, talks to Sue Whitbread, Editor of IFA Magazine, and Rebecca Tomes, Junior Editor, about why food matters.

In the latest episode of IFA Magazine's weekly podcast, Charlotte O'Leary, CEO of Pensions for Purpose, talks to our Editor, Sue Whitbread, all about the interesting world of ESG and pensions - which she says, typically fills people with feelings of "excitement, fear, and dread"! 

ESG is a subject that is very close to our heart at IFA Magazine - and appears to be here to stay in Financial Services, as more and more businesses are jumping on the sustainable bandwagon. However, as ESG rises in popularity, it is arguably becoming increasingly difficult to filter out companies that are, in fact, not living up to their green claims.

In this episode of the Financial Insight podcast, Matt Vamplew, Co-founder and CEO of Paranimo, tells IFA Magazine’s Rebecca Tomes all about his company’s mission to ensure that all employees can access appropriate mental health support.

In this powerful conversation, Matt discusses how the pandemic and remote working has impacted organisations’ ability to manage employee mental health – and how businesses can best support employees’ mental wellbeing going forwards.

We absolutely loved talking to Matt about this extremely important topic – and hope you enjoy the episode too!

Mental Health is a subject very close to the heart of Michelle Hoskin – as you’ll hear first hand when you listen to this powerful conversation. In it, IFA Magazine’s Sue Whitbread and Rebecca Tomes talk to Michelle about why she believes that self care and awareness of mental health issues are such critical tools for advisers in the fight for mental health – and why it matters so much.  We really loved this conversation with Michelle and we hope you do too.
