WEALTH at work acquires Life Academy to further enhance its growth.
1st September 2015
WEALTH at work, a leading provider of financial education, guidance and advice in the workplace has acquired Life Academy, the financial education, and employee engagement programme provider based in Newport, Wales. The acquisition sees WEALTH at work increasing its footprint in the market at a time when demand is significant due to the recent pension changes, which is driving organisations to provide comprehensive pre and at-retirement financial education and advice to their employees.
Under the leadership of Greg Thorley and Richard Ayers, Life Academy has become a highly respected provider of financial education to many large companies in both the private and public sectors. This includes the provision of both face to face and online financial education tools.
Jonathan Watts-Lay, Director, WEALTH at work, comments; “I am delighted that Greg, Richard and the Life Academy team have agreed to become part of WEALTH at work. Life Academy and WEALTH at work have many similarities from a financial education perspective in terms of what we do and how we do it, so as one organisation we can continue to build the services our clients demand. In the new environment, an increasing number of employers want to support financial education with individual guidance and regulated advice. These additional services which WEALTH at work already offers can be made available to those Life Academy clients who require it.
He adds, “In addition, Life Academy has developed highly innovative online tools which we aim to offer to WEALTH at work clients.”
Greg Thorley, Director, Life Academy comments; “Both companies provide financial education in the workplace but this partnership will allow us to deliver the full end-to end journey for employees, enabling them to take control of their finances, especially at-retirement, at a time when it has never been so important.”
