Growing Digital Sector

What Sheffield Customers Say
I left the steel industry 15 years ago and forgot about my pension. The adviser traced it and found it was worth £62,000. It is now part of a consolidated retirement plan giving me real confidence.
My NHS pension projection showed a shortfall against my retirement goals. The adviser set up a modest SIPP saving £175 per month that will bridge the gap over the next 18 years.
When my employer was restructured, I was worried about my pension. The adviser helped me understand my protected rights and ensured my benefits were maintained through the transition.
At 28 working in Sheffield's tech scene, I had zero pension savings. The adviser started me with a SIPP and showed me how compound growth means starting now versus at 38 could mean £80,000 more at retirement.
As a self-employed plumber in Sheffield, no one was saving for my retirement. The adviser set up a flexible SIPP where I save more in busy months. Already built £15,000 in two years.
Working at both Sheffield universities over my career left me with USS and TPS pensions. The adviser helped me understand both schemes and recommended keeping them separate for maximum benefit.
