Have more spending money on your holidays?Howden and ISMA UK have come together to offer ISMA members significant discounts on a wide range of item including holiday travel, cosmetics, cars, gym membership etc etc. Have a look through the on line brochure and see where you could make savings. If there is something you would like which isn't there, then let the Administrator know and Howden will be informed. You do not have to be a Howden customer to get the discounts, however they have special rates for ISMA members and their non discounted rates compare very favourably with others in the market
