In various sections of our website we have detailed where we see our business going, the sort of work we do and the clients we advise. In this section we attempt to give you an insight into life at FSI - should you be a potential recruit or a client, you may be interested to learn of some of the things that go on behind the scenes…
Social
The FX committee organises various social events for the firm throughout the year. Some of the events over the past year have included:
- Summer party
- Darts night
- Karaoke nights
- Quiz evening
- Wine tastings
- Treasure hunt
- Wine & Wii evening
Other courses and activities are made available and have included language classes and cookery.
Shiatsu
Every week a meeting room is put aside for Shiatsu massage. Our practitioner has built up a regular and loyal clientele from within the firm.
Charity
The Charity Committee deals with all requests from staff and clients for donations and other forms of support and works hard to organise fund raising events. Recent events have included a Jeans for Genes day and a very successful Christmas Fair which raised money for our chosen charities. The Committee have also put together an FSI cookery book which has been sold to raise more funds for the charities.

FSI has made a commitment to make life better for people where it can by supporting two charities with fundraising, time, skills and services.
