“Appointing Wingate Benefit Solutions as our pensions advisers is undoubtedbly one of the best decisions I have made in my seven and half years with Blackpool Transport. Both the speed and the quality of Wingate’s responses have been excellent and I have been particularly impressed by the way in which they have always been prepared to go the extra mile in looking after the company’s interest and ensuring we are provided with the best possible data and information. I would recommend Wingate to any other company.”
