 Wills & Co Stockbrokers is offering readers a free guide to shareholder perks.
Many UK companies reward their shareholders with discounts when they use their shops, hotels or restaurants, or buy holidays or flights through their operations. However, these deals can be difficult to find out about. This easy-to-use guide is a simple reference tool to provide further information on what perks to expect when investing in shares.
The guide offers an extensive range of perks from dozens of companies, from travel on Eurostar (pictured) to discounts on beer at Fullers the brewers.

Ian Murrell, Wills & Co's Head Dealer, says, "Many people don't realise the incredible range of perks available from British companies, as they find it both difficult and time consuming to research this information on their own. Although accepted wisdom remains that you should never invest just for the sake of the perks, they can often pay for the cost of the shares in fairly short order!"
