The information from Pengage helped me make sense of my NHS pension and this enabled me to ensure I received the correct payment.

I stumbled across the Pengage Facebook group by complete accident, and it has to be the best accident I’ve ever had! From there I found the Pengage website and the Pengage member zone. In the 15 months leading up to my partial retirement from the NHS the advice and guidance was invaluable. I was able to understand what I needed to do and what I could expect to receive. Laura’s no nonsense way of explaining the system was so clear and easy to understand.
I also paid for some personal advice from Gilly and again this was so helpful.
As I have learnt your pension is one of, if not your greatest assets and so you need to know what you need to know!
Pengage arms you with that knowledge. Thank you so much to all of the team.

I’m going through the process of applying for my pension and with all the changes in the scheme it left me a little confused and worried. Gilly at Pengage was excellent. She wrote a detailed report, breaking down my options with clear explanations and the follow up meeting was invaluable. It really is worth paying for a 1:1 to help you decide what options are best for you. There were many things I wasn’t aware of or considered and I had already done a fair bit of research myself. Excellent advice and a great service. Thank you Gilly.

I was following the Facebook page and was getting totally lost and confused. Decided to go for one to one. Best decision ever. 25 mins with Laura and all sorted. What I thought was so confusing turned out to be so simple. Worth every penny👍

I booked a meeting with Laura to verify the information I had received about my pension and lump sum. She carefully reviewed everything and reassured me that the forecast was accurate. Her expertise and ability to explain complex details in a clear, understandable way are outstanding. I highly recommend her services!

I cannot recommend Laura and her team highly enough. I used them to give me a Pension forecast and it was definitely worth every penny. I received a detailed report followed up with a Teams meeting to go over its contents. Thank you again Laura and your Team.

Excellent meeting with Jilly. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate about my situation; She gave me time to ask questions and went over things until I understood them properly. My understanding of my pension has more than doubled.
An invaluable meeting I'd recommend to others without any hesitation

Highly professional and knowledgeable, discussion with Laura was insightful providing the answers I had struggled to find through an IFA. I have booked a follow up to future proof provision as family circumstances change. Thank you

Would highly recommend Pengage! From start to finish friendly, knowledgeable staff. Laura explained everything in a way I could understand
The process of gathering information for checks was self explanatory and relatively easy.
Laura always replied to email queries quickly!
This was a service well worth the fee for peace of mind and has made it easier to plan retirement .

Offered an NHS pensions review at a cost well less than many other providers. Prompt report followed by an MS teams review. Laura is very engageable and helpful, answers explained clearly. Would recommend to other professionals who need similar reviews

Highly recommend Pen-gage. Laura made everything easy to understand. The report sent out explained everything and the opportunity to discuss it all in full on a 121 basis made it even better. Laura explained what further action I needed to take and helped me draft an email to send to my pension provider. Its what you don't know and it is so important to have someone who does know explain it all clearly and guide you to the best outcome for you. It is worth every penny. It has taken away all my worries and made me able to plan for my future with confidence. Thank you Laura.
