Mattioli Woods has joined group risk industry trade body Grid.
The employee benefits specialist employs 1,000 people at locations across the UK.
Founded initially as a pensions consultancy, the company also advises on wealth management and employee benefits, including group risk.
Saira Chambers, employee benefits director at Mattioli Woods, said: “As our presence in the group risk market continues to grow, we recognise the value of joining Grid to help promote the importance of protection benefits for employees.
“Our highly experienced 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.”
Barry Waring, chairman of raising the profile working party at Grid (pictured), said: “As a collective body, we are 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 and wellbeing.
“We are 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.”
