Join us on 28th July at 09.30 BST for our next professional adviser webinar, when Professor Simon Heffer will accompany Professor Matthew Goodwin as they will be revisiting previous crises to explain the circumstances and the recoveries.

The global pandemic is labelled unprecedented, but are there lessons from financial crises of the past we can learn in terms of future recoveries?

What lessons can the past teach us about our future?
