GETTING the most from employee benefit strategies relies on getting the best possible advice – which was the thinking behind the formation of a Northampton-based company that specialises in explaining and clarifying the numerous strategies available. Originally founded in 2000, Redwood Employee Benefit Services Ltd  chose to specialise and focused on advice to companies and their owners rather than personal finaincial planning for individuals. Through committed hard work and word of mouth recommendations Redwood Employee Benefit Services has gone from zero to nearly 70 corporate client accounts to whom it currently provides support, often being described as an extension to internal HR or Finance departments. Jason Brice, who set up Redwood Employee Benefit Services, said: “We work with clients across a wide range of industry sectors from companies with just two employees to companies with over fifty thousand employees, and offer advice on all types of employee benefits. “Last year saw us building an enviable reputation for working with companies seeking assistance with pensions auto enrolment and winning a number of new prestigious client accounts.” The changes, regulation and timing of auto enrolment are the biggest challenges facing both Redwood and its corporate clients for many years. Redwood has identified 33 new employer duties under this new legislation, not complying can result in fines as much as £2,500 per day! While many advisers may ensure their clients are aware of their statutory requirements, Redwood’s advice runs wider than this, ensuring clients understand which IT and payroll systems are needed to enable them to implement the required changes. The company has seen steady growth over the years, built on the number and strength of recommendations from clients and partners. As it builds a reputation as the ‘go to’ company for advice on employee benefits and companies seeking assistance with Auto Enrolment, the company predicts significant growth over the next three years. One client recently said “Without Redwood we would never have been ready for our Auto Enrolment employer obligations.  Jason helped us recognise our IT shortfalls then supported us in a complex tender process to select a new payroll software provider and roll out our auto enrolment strategy to over 4,000 employees across our 14 sites throughout the UK and northern Ireland.  We could not have done it without him and his team” “Strength and stability comes from strong client relationships” said Jason. “We are simply people working with people, we forge long term working relationships, working on employee benefit strategies based around growth and profits of our client companies, developing them over many years.” The time for action on Auto Enrolment is now!
