OUR WORK WITH A4e
Recent economic turbulence has increased the need for many families to look for financial advice and assistance. In recognition of this we have worked with a third sector organisation called A4e to provide practical support for a Money Guidance pilot in the North West of England.
Expertise was provided by staff from our employed sales force (ESF) to support this important initiative. This included advice on the differences between guidance and regulated advice, knowledge of the basic ranges of products and services open to clients in the market and providing an understanding of the way consumers can be referred to specialists in mortgages, protection, wealth and taxation.
Working with A4e gives us an understanding of how organisations such as ours can help people to get out of debt and into saving. Our ESF will be working with A4e Money Guiders over the next few months to see if there are areas of expertise where we can support them.
