The directors of the PFS have re-elected Sarah Lord as President of the Personal Finance Society for a second term as debate on the future of the professional body goes on.

As school students return to school, the Personal Finance Society has restarted its ‘My Personal Finance Skills’ programme which saw 18,000 students learn money skills over the past academic year.

Having the right attributes for successful social interaction is the key skill for those entering the Financial Planning profession to have, according to 70% of Personal Financial Society members surveyed in June.

New Personal Financial Society President Sarah Lord FPFS has spoken exclusively to Financial Planning Today about the work the professional body is doing to tackle rising FSCS levy fees and her thoughts on what makes Financial Planners special.
