Jelf Employee Benefits has acquired a controlling stake in Laterlife, to extend its offerings for employees approaching, at or going through retirement.

Laterlife, which specialises in retirement planning workshops, offers a range of support in areas such as addressing retirement hopes and concerns, developing new interests and managing time.

The partnership allows Jelf to support employees throughout their career with financial education and enrolment services.

Alan Millward, director of corporate benefits for Jelf Employee Benefits, said: “Retirement isn’t just about stopping work, it’s about embarking on a completely new life. There are a lot of decisions that people need to consider, from their pension to how they want to live their life. We now offer expertise to our clients through a truly cradle-to-grave range of services.”

Tony Clack, managing director of Laterlife, added: “Jelf’s strong financial planning pedigree made them an attractive partner, to enable us together, offer a balanced financial and lifestyle approach as part of career-long services.”
