I’m really touched by Mark Pearson bothering to write a testimonial for Pension PlayPen.
In case you missed it – here it is!
“Henry has clearly used his industry expertise to capitalise on a change to the law with regards to workplace pensions.
Many SME’s don’t have the internal resource to deal with issues such as these so there is a natural demand for Pension PlayPen.
Fuelling growth through education seems to be a key part of the business and a very strong unique identifier; the straightforward approach will stand the business in good stead as it scales up!”
Who is Mark Pearson? He’s EVP of Monitise Content which is the parent to www.myvouchercodes.co.uk.
At 34 he’s built a business and sold it to Monitise for a sum adjacent to £55m.
Not bad for someone who was working in a Gordon Ramsey kitchen eight years ago.
And of course he’s very annoying, he annoyed everyone when running Groupola.com and selling Iphone 4s for £99 –especially as he didn’t have (m)any to sell.
We’ve all screwed up – but it’s how you deal with screw-ups.
In short- he’s the real deal and I’m not ashamed to bask in his reflective glory for a couple of days.
This morning, I’ve been speaking with one of Britain’s premier communications companies who like the idea of getting into bed with a nasty disruptive upstart like Pension PlayPen.
We share one thing in common, a wish to do a little better for Britain’s 1.2m SMEs and Micros than the pension industry and British Telecom have done so far.
If we left, BT, British Aiways, IBM and the British High Street to get on with it, we’d have no Talk Talk, Virgin , Apple and myvouchercodes. And if we left the ABI and NAPF to preside over British pensions we’d have no www.pensionplaypen.com
