Our recent awards

We're glad we're not the only ones who think we're doing a good job. We keep winning awards, so we know lots of other people are happy with us too.

2008

We’ve had an excellent start to 2008. We were one of only four providers to be awarded five stars, the highest rating available, in the Defaqto Star Ratings 2008 for our Self-invested Personal Pension (SIPP). This is a great independent endorsement for us.

2007

  • Voted Best Stakeholder Pension Provider at the Moneywise Pension Awards 2007.
