GRiD welcomes Pearse Williams Limited as newest member

Press release 5 December 2017.

Pearse Williams has become the latest member to join the trade body for the group risk industry GRiD. With the aim of supporting its members and growing the market, GRiD provides Pearse Williams with the opportunity to influence group risk policymaking, gain privileged access to output from GRiD’s specialist working groups, including consultation responses, regulatory updates and employer research, as well as exclusive access to industry speakers and networking opportunities.

David Williams, managing director for Pearse Williams said: “The value of group risk benefits has long been felt by employers, employees and their families at the receiving end of both the financial support as well as the added-valued benefits that are frequently offered as part of such products. It is also great to see their value recognised more widely in the recently published Stevenson/Farmer ‘Thriving at Work’ review of mental health, and I’m very pleased to work with GRiD’s members to help build on this work and extend the reach of these valuable products.’

Lee Lovett, chairman of GRiD said: “It’s good to see the benefits of group risk products being endorsed by independent reviews and green papers; every member of GRiD sees first-hand the difference our products make to peoples’ lives, and can attest to their value. We’re very pleased to welcome our newest member, and look forward to both supporting them in their endeavours as well as welcoming their contribution.”
