SW LogoSaving for Your Pension

While saving for retirement has slowly been on the rise in recent years, the latest Report reveals that countless people have saved less because of the recession, with women over 50 being the hardest hit.

In order to avoid falling into this trap, join us for our live webcast on 31st August when we will be joined by Scottish Widows savings expert Ian Naismith who will be on hand to offer some straightforward guidance on how to prepare for your retirement.
