New Insurance Partnership

Personal Group and Simplyhealth forge strategic partnership to strengthen
employee wellbeing across the UK

 

Personal Group Holdings Plc (AIM: PGH), the workforce benefits and insurance
provider, today announces a new strategic partnership with Simplyhealth, the
UK's leading healthcare services and cash plan provider. The collaboration
brings together two purpose‑driven organisations united by a shared mission:
to make essential healthcare and financial protection more accessible and
affordable for employees across the UK.

 

Through the new partnership, Personal Group will be available to deliver
face-to-face employee engagement for Simplyhealth's 12,000 business
relationships, to support the sale of insurance plans from both organisations.
These include Personal Group's employee‑paid plans, which provide financial
protection for employees during periods of ill‑health, alongside
Simplyhealth's healthcare and dental plans, including the market‑leading
Denplan. This combination of offerings creates a holistic proposition for
employers, combining the cost of healthcare with protection against loss of
income.

 

This is Personal Group's second insurance partnership, providing accelerated
access to UK employees within core sectors, augmenting the Group's expansion
opportunity.

 

Simplyhealth currently supports over 2.5 million members through its health
and dental plans, delivered both directly to consumers and through employer
relationships. With over 12,000 corporate client relationships, the
organisation plays a pivotal role in enabling people to access everyday
healthcare services quickly and affordably.

 

Paula Constant, Chief Executive Officer at Personal Group, said "both
companies are committed to improving the health and financial resilience of
employees, and by bringing together Simplyhealth's everyday healthcare
solutions with Personal Group's financial protection products and our unique
one‑to‑one engagement model, we can make a real and measurable difference
to people's lives. Partnerships such as these are a key part of our growth
strategy, providing accelerated access to employees within our target sectors.

 

"This partnership allows us to broaden the help we offer to the workforce -
ensuring employees not only get access to the care they need but also receive
financial support when health challenges affect their income."
