OREANDA-NEWS. September 25, 2015. Lighthouse Group plc (AIM:LGT), the national financial adviser of choice for Middle Britain, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a new introducer agreement with Avensure Limited ("Avensure"), to assist Avensure customers in meeting their auto-enrolment requirements.

Avensure is an insurance-backed employment law and health and safety specialist consultancy that offers a premium, personalised HR, Employment Law and Health and Safety advisory service with documentation and training to a substantial client base.

This new agreement extends further Lighthouse's reach into the auto-enrolment and workplace solutions market through its Lighthouse Workplace Solutions offerings. In March 2014, the Group launched the multi-employer unbundled Master Trust product, the Lighthouse Pensions Trust, to enable small and medium-sized enterprises to fulfil their auto-enrolment obligations in an efficient and cost-effective way.  In addition the Lighthouse Life Trust was launched in June 2015, to enable those employers who have selected the Lighthouse Pensions Trust as their auto-enrolment solution to insure their employees for death-in-service life assurance cover.

Christopher Garner, Managing Director of Avensure, commented: "We are delighted to have secured this agreement with Lighthouse, which will enable us to assist our customers not only to meet their auto-enrolment obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner, but also be supported in this process and in other areas of financial advice need by Lighthouse, a business which shares our commitment to delivering service to the highest standards."

Malcolm Streatfield, Chief Executive Officer of Lighthouse, commented: "The Board is delighted that we have secured this partnership with Avensure. We look forward to developing our relationship over the coming years and working closely with Avensure and its clients to assist them in meeting their auto-enrolment requirements and providing highly valued workplace solutions for their employees."
