Heka is a brilliant platform that puts 1000’s of benefits in one place, 5,000+ benefits in fact. Gone are the days of adding “just one more” app or service to support your employees' wellbeing, Heka has it all in place already, you just have to light the blue touch paper and your employees will do the rest. Having worked in employee benefits all my life I recognise this as such a great platform for employers who want a simple, zero hassle platform with all the benefits in one place. https://www.hekahappy.com/

I am delighted to be joining Dynamic Planner as their Chairman following FPE’s recent investment. Having known Ben Goss for many years, I have for many years admired him and his team and long though that DP is head and shoulders above all others in helping individuals, advisers and asset managers understand and manage suitable portfolios through engaging financial plans. Founded in 2003, it is an end-to-end, risk-based system, using a single definition of risk to ensure nothing is lost in translation in the planning and advice process. I am super-excited to be on board the Dynamic Planner rocket ship for the next phase of their journey, and I look forward to helping the team as we grow over the next few years.

The one thing that all employers and employees lack, is the time to find the knowledge we all need to get our jobs done more easily and better. There is so much relevant information out there, and so little time spare to access, sift and digest it. How Now will do the hard work for you, by curating the best blogs, podcasts, videos, courses, workshops, market insights and books so you don't have to. How Now makes it so easy to access, personalise and share your existing workplace knowledge too, giving you back that one thing you really need more of - your precious time - How Now now you can have your cake and eat it :-) https://gethownow.com

Trawling through anonymous job boards, sending CVs into black holes, registering with recruitment agencies...finding work is tough! The team at Tempo has been through this too and decided something had to change, so we have created Tempo to help great people meet the UK's most exciting companies easily. www.heytempo.com
