Do you have a final salary pension? This free seminar will give you a better understanding as to what income you will have in retirement and the alternatives available, particularly if you would like to retire early. Speaker John Webb, a Chartered Financial Planner, has worked with employees from companies including Jaguar Land Rover, Barclays, Lloyds and Severn Trent to help them understand their Final Salary Pension and the options they have available. Understanding this has helped them to plan when they can retire, and in many cases, to retire early.
Book your place by searching “Final Salary Pensions Explained” at www.eventbrite.com.
