Wesleyan Assurance Society began life in Birmingham in the Summer of 1841, established to help people overcome the financial problems brought on by the Industrial Revolution. Today Wesleyan no longer focuses on the mass market but has developed a niche market approach specialising in tailored financial advice and products to meet the specific needs of professionals - particularly doctors, dentists, teachers and now lawyers.
The Business & Learning Connections Project works with businesses across the West Midlands producing video material about their expertise for use in teaching. To help promote the options this material offers lecturers and students the Project has worked with national partners to produce a guide to good practice in this area and to where else such material can be found. www.businessandlearningconnections.co.uk
