The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) has launched its new,
revamped website www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk .
The original website was created in 2006 and, despite frequent
and continuing updates to the content, has not been subject to any
major overhaul until now. Various customer surveys have pointed to
the need for a more modern look and better user accessibility to
the site.
"Initial re-action to the revamp has been very positive", says
TPAS Chief Executive Malcolm McLean. "It looks and feels better and
we hope it will encourage even greater use of the service which has
already seen large increases in visitor activity in recent times.
It remains our wish to make available the most comprehensive, free
pensions information and guidance service in the UK. The provision
of a quality website is integral to that aim".
