Merry BIXmas everyone! Oh yes, the festive puns start here in my end-of-year wrap. Yes, they get worse.
It has been a phenomenal 2017 for BIX, which has gone from strength to strength each month and we look set to close the year with a fraction under £2m being offered for sale. One might say BIX is in a stable (get it?!) condition as we step into Christmas. In all seriousness though, all of this is really down to ye faithful BI clients who have supported us with your contributions to BIX throughout the year – both buying and selling – as we could not have done it without you. You’ve been part of our successes in the past and I know you’ll be part of our success in the future so thank you very much.
Now then, in the same way as you can’t have Christmas without Brussells (we’ll leave that for 2019), you definitely can’t let the season go by without a proper wine on the table. Allow the ghost of Christmas present to illuminate the path towards some of our current offerings fit for any wise man or woman:

A Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!
