The Pensions Advisory Service

New advisers

I am pleased to welcome Mark Brownridge, Kevin Burge, Keith Garlick, Matthew Gibbons, Christopher Hurst and Paul Mulhern as as new advisers to TPAS.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with casework, which can be dealt with from home. It is not as time consuming as you may think and you may be pleasantly surprised by the benefits it can bring you.

Alternatively, we are also looking for volunteers to help with presentations in the workplace and, for those who are able to do so, to attend our London office to help operate our telephone helpline.

Anyone interested in helping others and who would like to know more about becoming a volunteer adviser should contact Nikki Rees on 0207 630 2252
