And it’s the same when Intelligent Money provides high-performing, fully managed pensions/SIPPS, ISAs and general investment accounts.

As one of the UK’s premier championships it’s fantastic to have a partner that shares our vision of excellence – I am certain this new association will prove beneficial to both IM and British GT. We look forward to working with Juliana and his team throughout the season.”
