I am [hon] treasurer for a Charity and have £8,000 to invest with no need of access for the forseeable future [say 2 or 3 years].

At present it is sitting in a Lloydstsb savings account and earning approx 2% p.a.

Can I do better?

Thanks

Oh yes, indeed you can. !

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have gone through their site and note when one goes through their Personal savings account.. they do not entertain corporates [understandable].

I have therefore e:mailed their corporate section and await their response.

Then click on the Non Personal Relations, that's where you find the corporate details.
