Employee Benefits Testimonials

Hampson Precision Automotive

Torquil Clark Employee Benefits secured a major contract with Hampson Precision Automotive, to provide corporate pensions and benefits advice, including the introduction of salary exchange, to their 300 employees.

The move by Hampson Precision Automotive to appoint Torquil Clark as consultants was a direct result of the parent company Hampson Group using the expertise of Torquil Clark Employee Benefits for over ten years.

Torquil Clark is now working with their employees to ensure they are maximising the amount being invested into their pension income. This is being achieved by moving the group's pension into a more cost effective scheme, without incurring any additional cost to management. They are also ensuring that all staff take up the offer of additional contributions from Hampson as part of their salary contract, as many were letting this money slip through their fingers.

The key benefit to Hampson is that the new arrangements remove the responsibility of pension bureaucracy from the employer, saving them both time and money.

Ian Emery Divisional Chief Financial Officer of Hampson Precision Automotive said:

"We appointed Torquil Clark Employee Benefits with full confidence as they came with excellent references from our Group company.''

"We are not just dealing with pension paperwork here, we are dealing with the retirement income of our hard working employees. It is our responsibility as their employer to make sure their retirement savings are in the right savings vehicle, to do this we needed to take expert advice. We are delighted to have Torquil Clark Employee Benefits on board to manage this."

Dunwoody Airline Services Ltd trading as British Airways Regional Cargo

After their previous employee benefits adviser was taken over, Dunwoody Airline Services Ltd sought the help of Torquil Clark Employee Benefits to review their group life insurance scheme and saved over £3,000 in the process.

Barrie Witcomb, Finance Manager at Dunwoody Airline Services Ltd was extremely pleased with the money they saved and the service they received.

"We had been reasonably happy with the services of our other adviser, but when we spoke to Torquil Clark Employee Benefits we found their service was excellent. Apart from being able to save us over £3,000 per year on our group life insurance, there were so many other things they did well. The people at Torquil Clark were very friendly and approachable; they were always happy to help with any queries we had and always provided us with information when we needed it.''

"Their knowledge of the market was exceptional. We weren't simply advised on the cheapest cover available, instead, we were recommended the one that best suited us as a company.''

They used their experience of working with the different insurance companies to match us with the one that would provide the best cover, taking into consideration their track record and any terms in the policy that could benefit us on an individual level. This was essential for us as we want our employees to have access to life insurance should they choose to leave the company. Torquil Clark Employee Benefits found us a policy, which enabled us to give them this option."

Birmingham Chamber of Commerce & Industry

After over a year spent trying to reconcile payments for their group life insurance with their existing adviser, the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce & Industry sought the help of Torquil Clark Employee Benefits, who succeeded in getting back over £10,000 in overpayments.

"For 14 months we knew we had been paying too much for our group life insurance. We got in touch with Torquil Clark Employee Benefits after they were recommended to us. They conducted a full audit of our payments over the past five years, which was more than we were expecting. So we were delighted when, after just five months, we received back over £10,000 in overpayments." Says Gemma Peters (Personnel Adviser) at the Chamber.

"Having struggled with our other adviser for so long, it was refreshing to have Torquil Clark come in and take all the hassle away from us. They dealt with everything themselves, using their expertise to work with the insurer to get our money back.''

"We were surprised at how easy Torquil Clark made it to understand the situation. Everything was explained to us in plain English, which really helped us to follow what was happening and how we came to be owed so much.''

"We were so impressed with the help we received from Torquil Clark, we have worked with them on our other employee benefits."
