What we do

Our chief executive, Steve Butler, explains what we do – in just under a minute. 

 

Financial education and engagement


Our financial wellbeing and education service helps employers explain finances and their implications to their employees, giving them the tools to make better financial choices at all stages of their working lives.

Maintain your pension scheme


We have spent decades advising employers – and trustee boards - on the many challenges they face in a challenging pension landscape. Underpinning everything is how we bring together everyone involved, reporting on progress made, risks avoided and opportunities taken in service of the scheme’s objective: to give members a worthwhile retirement.

Communicate with your people


Got something you want to tell your employees about their pensions and benefits?

Employee benefits communication is the art and science of communicating with your employees to ensure they understand, value and engage with the range of employee benefits available to them. Our Communications team are here to help you do just that.

Retirement planning


What used to be a single choice, retiring on a pension, is now a kaleidoscope of options.

We can help your employees make an informed decision that will benefit the operation and reputation of your business.

How we help trustees


The duties of pension trustees often span both defined benefit and workplace pension schemes because their input and experience can help to improve outcomes for members.

We advise trust-based schemes across the spectrum of responsibility on how they can help shape a better retirement for their members.

Get the benefit of your employee benefits


By themselves, these are insurance tools for employers. In the round, they add up to how your company values its people and deals with risk.

We can build you a benefit package that will help recruit and retain the staff you want.
