IPSE is delighted to be entering into partnership with Close Brothers, who work with many of the UK’s best-known employers, providing financial education services to their staff to help improve financial wellbeing throughout their careers.

Chris Bryce, Chief Executive of IPSE, said: “IPSE is excited to be working with Close Brothers. Through this partnership, we will now be able to help our members with some of the most complex financial challenges of self-employment. Every new partnership we secure also increases our voice and helps us to further the interests of the self-employed. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with Close Brothers.”

Jeanette Makings, Head of Financial Education at Close Brothers, said: “As an increasing number of people choose to work for themselves for part or all of their career, it has never been more important to ensure this demographic has access to the same level of guidance and advice  as their employed counterparts. For this reason we are delighted to be working with IPSE, helping provide valuable financial guidance and advice through a range of online services, webinars, seminars and guides for all its members. ”
