Head through any new city suburb or business park, or glance at the frontages of new homes or shops on the high street, and you’ll likely see a common trend: thin, lightweight-framed windows that help to let the light in. We live in an age where securing your home and property is paramount, and burglar-proof windows made from aluminium are quickly becoming the de facto standard among savvy developers, architects and homeowners.

Some casks have seen their value increase by over 500% over the last ten years, outperforming traditional investments like gold and fine wine. Unlike stocks or bonds, whole casks of whisky are physical items that are hard to come by and kept in safe storage. That’s why they…

Recent data has revealed that almost half of business properties are underinsured, with this rather worrying gap partly driven by property owners failing to carry out regular insurance valuations.
