Vidett Limited has been working on a comms strategy for a 7,000 member DB scheme which ties into Guiide for additional protection and support. Scheme members have access to Guiide's planning tool, the transfer support service and Guiide's panel of vetted IFAs and drawdown providers. It's not just DB benefits as members can pull in the active savings they have with the company's group pension plan. Our thanks for the involvement of Suzi Lowther and Jasmin Clark from Vidett in bringing the benefits of holistic retirement planning to another major pension scheme.
