Secondsight has been working with us for more than a decade. We greatly value the consultancy support provided, in that it serves to guide us through the oft complex nature of pensions.
Throughout our relationship, Secondsight has proven reassuring, comprehensive and professional. This has enabled us to take prompt and effective action where required.
We have also welcomed their support in ensuring that our member communication is clear and informative. We commend them for service they offer.
