Chancellor's Gordon Brown's Budget has been given a warm welcome by a Banstead financial services company.

Staff at Park Road's FPS Financial Services were delighted with the new rules the Chancellor brought in for Individual Savings Account, or ISAs.

According to FPS director Andrew Bennet, the Chancellor's decision to raise the ceiling for ISAs should open fresh opportunities for long term investments.

He said: "I'm glad that Gordon Brown has seen sense."
