MRM wins pitch to raise the profile of employee benefit consultant Goddard Perry

Financial services PR agency MRM has been appointed to raise the profile of employee benefit consultant and third-party administrator Goddard Perry.

Associate director, Mark Gee, will lead the account team at MRM for Goddard Perry, which offers a range of services from actuarial and pension administration services to online benefits and independent financial advice. He will work with the agency’s head of public and regulatory affairs, Havard Hughes, and its head of digital, Michael Taggart.

Gee said: “Given the rush for employers to comply with auto enrolment requirements, the workplace pensions arena is currently a very fast-moving and exciting commercial environment to be involved in. We are delighted to be working with the team at Goddard Perry to help it grow the business through a range of communication activities.”

Steve Goddard, MD of Goddard Perry, said it has a clear commitment to financial advisers and employee benefits consultants: “We are a true champion of these businesses and in MRM we have an agency that has a good understanding of reaching this target audience through a range of tools and tactics.”

Goddard Perry recently (Dec 2015) announced the merger of its two master trust brands, Spinnaker Master Trust and Salvus Master Trust, to create a pension scheme with 10,000 members and £40m of assets.
