Foster Denovo’s COO, Helen Lovett, took part in the panel at Corporate Adviser Master Trust and GPP Conference, where AI was firmly in the spotlight.

Industry leaders explored how AI could transform the way guidance and advice are delivered across pensions and workplace savings.

The discussion highlighted the potential of AI to increase access to affordable guidance and help providers to scale support more effectively. At the same time, they emphasised the need for strong safeguards and responsible use.

Helen shared her experience of launching Myadviceplace, a digital advice solution that is already available in the market. She explained that one of the biggest benefits of AI is its ability to reduce administrative costs, making face-to-face advice more affordable and accessible, particularly in the workplace through employer-supported solutions.

Midweek moments that matter ☕

This morning, our Weybridge team came together for a breakfast, taking some time out to connect and reset for the rest of the week. Featuring a variety of freshly prepared pastries, fresh fruit and breakfast baps, it was the perfect opportunity to prioritise employee wellbeing and strengthen connections.

At Secondsight, we know that small mid week moments like these can make a difference in supporting engagement, motivation, and a positive workplace culture.

Many employees will put off writing a will, believing they can “sort it later.” Yet the reality is, none of us know when that time will come.

Having a will in place will cover important issues such as:
• Appointing a guardian for any children or dependants
• Deciding how to leave property
• Taking steps to protect unmarried partners or stepchildren
• Mitigating the amount of Inheritance Tax (IHT) applied to their estate

Alongside a will, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is an essential part of later-life planning. While it may be difficult for employees to consider what happens after death, doing so can help provide them and their loved ones with peace of mind about the future.

Did you know, Free Wills Month began on 1st October 2025. This initiative is designed to offer people ages 55 or over the opportunity to make or update a will for free. Could this help one of your employees? Visit the Free Wills Month website https://bit.ly/4qaGUrt for more information.

You can also read more in our latest guide which explores practical reasons to make a will and set up an LPA: https://bit.ly/4nXPh7x
