Standard Life's 1825 to offer financial education

1825 has struck a deal to deliver a financial education programme to pensions and risk consultancy Hymans Robertson's staff. 

Standard Life Aberdeen's financial planning and advice business will deliver a series of seminars that cover pensions with the information tailored to the Hymans Robertson scheme members, and their partners' circumstances.

According to Shona Lowe, national head of private client services at 1825, the seminars should help people at all career stages to better understand the key areas they should be considering and the options available to them.

1825's seminars will also look at savings and investments with advisers presenting the benefits of using Isas and other tax wrappers, alongside pensions, as part of a multi-product tax efficient investment strategy.

Options for estate planning, mortgages, debt consolidation, budgeting plus the annual and lifetime allowance will also be outlined as part of the seminars.

Delivered on a face-to-face basis by specialist advisers and experts in their field, the seminars launched as part of Hymans Robertson’s Wellbeing Week in October. 

They will run for the rest of 2018 and throughout 2019.  

We have developed a Financial Wellness 'pick and mix' programme that includes these education sessions along with flexible benefits and offers easy access to holistic advice.

Ms Lowe said: "We are delighted that Hymans Robertson have chosen 1825 to deliver this innovative programme to staff and partners.

"We have developed a Financial Wellness 'pick and mix' programme that includes these education sessions along with flexible benefits and offers easy access to holistic advice.

"By taking the full educational programme, Hymans Robertson are ensuring their employees and partners are empowered to make more informed decisions and plan their financial future with confidence.

"Everyone should be able to pass on as much as possible to their loved ones. We want to help people maximise their assets to enjoy now, as well as ensuring the future is well planned out."

Steve Moore, head of human resources at Hymans Robertson, said: "I am really pleased to extend our employee wellbeing offering into the financial wellbeing space in conjunction with Shona and her team. 

"These seminars will complement what we offer with our physical, mental and social wellbeing initiatives. 

"The suite of workshops will provide something for everyone in our business, depending on their financial priorities at this point in their lives."
