Fishy briefs are flavour of month
The Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association (OATA) has netted Legal and General to provide its 600 members with a stakeholder pension plan after trawling the market through intermediary Independent Financial Services.

But confirming this news for TPA readers required some casting around, as OATA chief executive Keith Davenport was in Vietnam attending a conference on the outlook for endangered species of tropical fish.

As well as promoting the delights of the Fiji Blue Devil Damsel and the Cortez Angel, Mr Davenport estimates that in its 10-year life, the OATA has negotiated savings of £200m for members through insurance deals and credit card schemes.
