About the organisation
People's Partnership is a purpose-driven financial services company in the UK, helping people build financial foundations for life. As a business set up without shareholders, they reinvest profits to help customers and achieve better financial outcomes for everyone.
Since it began back in 1942, they've helped millions of workers with everything from holiday pay to saving for retirement. And as they've grown, they’ve kept the needs of working people, and their families at the centre of everything they do. During their B&CE years, they created The People’s Pension – their workplace pension that’s a key retirement savings product and is one of the largest master trust workplace pensions in the UK, for employers of all sizes with 1 in 5 working people saving with us.
