The Highs & Lows of Employer Shares
Join Rory Albon who will explain about Owning shares in your employer or joining your employer’s share schemes such as Save As You Earn (SAYE), Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) can lead to significant financial reward when the company is growing. A prime example is Amazon, who came to the UK in 1998. Employees of the ‘start up’ online bookstore were all given RSUs as a bonus to their basic pay, which at the time, were trading under $50 each. Those employees that continued to hold their shares to the time of writing would be sitting on a gain of over 60 times that value now, with each share worth over $3,000 (before HMRC takes up to 20% of the profit in Capital Gains Tax).

From small builder to plumbers through to large building firms there are an increasing number of contractors needing insurance often due to the fact that building firms now take on contractors rather than employees. These contractors need professional guidance on their insurance needs and this presentation will outline the main factors to be taken into account.
