Giving your employees peace of mind for their loved ones
Group Life Assurance provides financial security when it is needed most. Offering a valuable death-in-service benefit not only supports your employees’ families but also demonstrates your commitment to your workforce’s long-term wellbeing.
At Patterson-Mills, we help businesses design and implement Group Life Assurance schemes that are cost-effective, meaningful, and aligned with your wider employee benefits strategy. We operate independently, sourcing options across the entire market to find the most suitable solutions for your business and your staff.
Whether you are introducing a new scheme or reviewing existing arrangements, we offer clear, expert guidance to help you create a benefit that is appreciated by employees and adds strength to your organisation’s employee value proposition.
Our service ensures your Group Life Assurance cover is robust, flexible, and continues to support your business as it grows and evolves over time.
How we work with you – Life assurance that delivers when it matters
Understanding your workforce and objectives
We begin by learning about your company, your team, and the goals you have for offering Group Life Assurance. This ensures any solution we propose is designed specifically for your needs.
Independent market search and benchmarking
We assess providers across the whole of the market, reviewing cover options, premium rates, trust structures, and flexibility to find the best fit for your organisation.
Negotiating optimum cover and pricing
We use our relationships and expertise to secure competitive premiums and advantageous terms, ensuring your benefit remains cost-effective over the long term.
Scheme implementation and staff communication
We manage the full implementation, including documentation, trust setup where required, and clear employee communications that help staff understand and appreciate their benefit.
Ongoing scheme management and support
We oversee eligibility updates, scheme renewals, and trustee liaison to keep your cover effective and compliant, with regular strategic reviews to adapt as needed.
Claims support with a personal touch
In the unfortunate event of a claim, we provide compassionate and efficient support for trustees, employees’ families, and your business, ensuring the process is as smooth as possible.
