After the presentation there will be an opportunity to have a 1-2-1 meeting to discuss your pension, mortgage or both. Whether you are looking for the basics of how to begin, or have questions about the next steps for you, we welcome anyone and everyone who is looking to understand or change their current situation.
The free review meetings will broadly consist of:
Sessions are open for pre-booking. There may be walking appointments available, but pre-booking is suggested to guarantee your slot.
*Note: Attendance at the presentation is not mandatory before having a 1-2-1 meeting. However, it is strongly suggest that you attend.
Meetings will be set on a prearranged date which you can find in the email sent from your HR department.
