Our approach 

We offer a uniquely holistic market proposition, spanning insurance, employee benefits, and reward consultancy, allowing us to cater to every sector of UK business and offer relevant, timely and price-appropriate services that help companies address these key themes.

Enterprise

  • e.g. Royal Mail Group, Cranswick
  • Fair-deal health and life insurance products
  • Digital benefits platform - Hapi
  • One of our main markets is the industrial heartlands of the UK, across sectors such as social care, food manufacturing, transport and logistics. We are proud to offer a benefits package and affordable employee paid insurance protection to these employees, many of whom don’t sit behind a desk and might not have access to the benefits package offered in other sectors. Our Hospital Cash Plan, Convalescence Plan and Death Benefit Plan increase these employees’ resilience against unexpected costs.
  • The ONS estimates there are 13m employees in UK companies over 1,000 employees. We are already trusted by large household name organisations like DHL, Stagecoach, and Royal Mail.

Public sector

  • e.g. Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, University of York
  • Other owned benefits (Let’s Connect)
  • Digital benefits platform - Hapi (Hapiflex version most relevant)
  • Our NHS offer is a customised platform, empowering employees with easy access to core NHS benefits. We have also developed an NHS framework strategy to provide access to PG Let’s Connect and other salary sacrifice benefits provided by third parties. The launch of Hapiflex with the University of York will also help us gain access to more of the UK’s 5.6m public sector workers, providing services for employees with more disposable income.

Talent-driven

  • eg. Skyscanner, Refinitiv
  • Pay and Reward consultancy (Innecto)
  • Digital benefits platform - Hapi (Hapiflex version most relevant)
  • For talent-driven businesses attracting and retaining the right employees is key to their future success. Innecto’s intelligent consultancy and digital analysis solutions help organisations understand their reward position better. As companies seek to safeguard social equity in a disrupted working environment, Innecto’s gender pay gap and other legislative-led transparency reporting is more relevant than ever, providing benchmarking data to guide companies to best support their people and preserve equity.

SMEs

  • Any enterprise with <250 employees
  • Digital benefits platform (Hapi white-labelled as ‘Sage Employee Benefits’)
  • We target the UK’s vast and fragmented SME market through our partnership with Sage, the UK’s largest provider of payroll and accounting software for small businesses. Through this partnership, we are able to reach significant numbers of smaller companies in the UK as currently circa 1m SMEs have access
    to Sage accounting services. We also have plans to widen our partnership to include other organisations which work within the SME market, such as business services and membership organisations.
