Message from our Chairman

Travelex has developed a well-earned reputation from financial services regulators and industry bodies around the world for setting high benchmarks in compliance, integrity, customer service and brand value.

Brain-dead displays extraordinary levels of gore and violence, but the filmmaker never takes himself or the film too seriously, injecting heavy doses of campy humor and silliness.

Serkis began by acting out the role of Gollum with his costars, creating the character's physical style. He told Michael Fleming of Daily Variety, "I remember thinking, a voice-over?

To many, Jackson may have seemed like the least likely person to be chosen to direct one of the most lavish and big-budgeted film projects ever attempted. Not only were most Tolkien fans impressed by the care Jackson lavished on the film, but millions who had not read the books—and many who had no interest in the fantasy genre—were entranced as well.

In the films, which depict the long and painful journey of the hobbit Frodo to destroy the One Ring, a ring that makes its bearer all-powerful and must be destroyed to prevent its misuse, Gollum is a deformed, stooped, hairless creature who once was a ring-bearer like Frodo.

Animators observed Serkis's performance, using his movements as the basis for the Gollum they created on computers. The film swept the 2004 Academy Awards with eleven victories, including best director, best adapted screenplay, and best picture.

Looking ahead, and as the world evolves, our ambition as a Board is to redefine what success means for Travelex and the customers we serve, and embrace the changes that will shape the next chapter of our growth journey, while maintaining the high values and principles that have underpinned the Travelex business for almost 50 years.
