- Saira Chambers, employee benefits director at Mattioli Woods
Mattioli Woods was originally founded as a pensions consultancy but now advises on wealth management and employee benefits, including group risk.
“As our presence in the group risk market continues to grow, we recognize the value of joining Group Risk Development (GRiD) to help promote the importance of protection benefits for employees.
“Our team is excited about the opportunity to share ideas, champion these benefits, and support GRiD in its work to lobby the Government and influence legislation,” said Saira Chambers, employee benefits director at Mattioli Woods.
Barry Waring, chair of GRiD’s ‘Raising the Profile’ committee (pictured), added: “As a collective body, we’re able to consider all legislative and regulatory issues that can or do affect group risk business. We raise the profile of group risk and provide a forum for discussion on all public policy matters that relate to workplace health & wellbeing.
“We’re delighted that Mattioli Woods is now a member of this influential assembly and look forward to the perspective they will be able to bring from an employee benefits and engagement point of view.”
Earlier this month, GRiD announced the addition of independent advisory practice HFMC Wealth to its membership, which provides employee benefits to businesses in the UK.
