Is Rachel Reeves looking a bit like this Prime Minister at the thought of tomorrow? Well perhaps she should come to the Pension PlayPen for a joyful morning.
I’ve had a lot of fun recently from Ian Beestin both on the VFM podcast and through his music that seems to permeate into my life.
This brings me to this week’s pension playpen coffee morning. The advertising is Steve Goddard’s , we do our best – us old men! We need teaching , but I see we have Ian Beestin to tell us that!
You are cordially invited to join our next Coffee Morning event in which we will be having a conversation with Ian Beestin of Money Alive fame!
Key topics for discussion:
- Can he give some background on Money Alive and tell us about the services they provide?
- What do good member communications look like? What qualities do they have?
- Do they work with both DB and DC pensions?
- Can you give some examples of how you’re helping members achieve better outcomes?
- Has Consumer Duty changed the way Schemes communicate?
- Do they do anything specific to help firms better serve vulnerable customers?
- What do you think are the barriers to innovation in pensions?
- Does Money Alive use AI, and if so, how and where?
- What’s next, and where do you see things in, say, three years?
As an industry we certainly want “more” and Money Alive are making good headway to give members what they actually want.
Ian Beestin is a drummer but more importantly has a side hustle with Money Alive and was one of their founders. Prior to Money Alive he was a Director at Pensions Portal and Bulletin PR.
We hope you can join!

And let’s not forget the work of Bobby Riddaway last week
Reproof attached!
Come on Pension PlayPen, this video of Bobby Riddaway, Henry Tapper, Derek Scott and Billy Burrows is no advertisement. No women, no one under 60 (maybe Bobby) and we’re talking about pensions! I know we had a female lawyer but it looks like Pension PlayPen and the PMI conference are subjects that aren’t attracting the right sort.
My missus (who did go to the PMI event) told me to “turn that racket down” (me listening without my headphones to get her involved).
A bit more of this is required from the Pension PlayPen!
To properly understand what people want with the money they allow to be taken from pay, we have many surveys…
