    The Lloyds investment is a big risk in my opinion. Wouldn't you be better putting it in a FTSE tracker? I appreciate you already have savings in one but still. Or how about an international tracker?

    https://monevator.com/compare-uk-cheapest-online-brokers/ is a list of investment platforms. The site also has a wealth of good investment suggestions. Have a good look around, don't get put off by whatever happens to be on the front page at the moment.

    A couple to look at Rathbone global opportunities and legal and general international. These are both on Hargreaves and Landsdowne wealth list of recommended funds. A good place to start.
