Make sure the resolution is 72 dpi and/or saved as a mid-quality jpg/gif.

Standard practice but easily overlooked.

Or like m3ckon says, use a compressor.

It's all this rubbish that's repeated lots of times:

175%;font-family:"Gill Sans MT";mso-default-font-family:"Gill Sans MT";

Scrap the MS software for web building, it causes nothing but hassle. You can probably get that page down to about 20k, if not less.

You call this style numerous times:

style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 175%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Gill Sans MT'; mso-default-font-family: 'Gill Sans MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Gill Sans MT'; mso-latin-font-family: 'Gill Sans MT'; mso-greek-font-family: Verdana; mso-cyrillic-font-family: Verdana; mso-hebrew-font-family: Arial; mso-arabic-font-family: Arial; mso-latinext-font-family: 'Gill Sans MT'; language: EN-GB; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"

Look into using CSS Style sheets. You only need to program this once and then call it up with a command.
