Guiide Welcomes David Fairs as an Adviser

The past year has seen Guiide grow from offering an online free consumer site only to providing customised versions of its platform to master trusts, employers, providers and financial advisers to meet their specific aims. To further grow in these areas we are delighted to announce that David Fairs has agreed to join Guiide as an adviser.

David previously worked for a number of years at board level at TPR and as a pensions partner at KPMG. His experience in both the pensions and regulatory world will be invaluable to Guiide. This is especially so at a time when the consumer duties go live. We have recently seen strong interest from providers looking to ensure they can meet these duties for their customers planning for, entering, or already in long term drawdown. David’s appointment will greatly complement Guiide’s other adviser’s knowledge and expertise.

Kevin Hollister actuary and founder of Guiide said

“Our continued goal is to simplify the word “pensions”, for as many savers as possible. This can be done either directly with our free online planning tools, or via their providers if they wish to help. Support in understanding how to get the best possible retirement outcome and protecting against bad outcomes should be a given for all pension savers. This guidance needs to be provided to them at no cost to be effective. David has been a keen advocate of protecting savers and helping them achieve this. We could not have found a better match for our goals and values. We are really pleased that he has decided to share his experience with us to help Guiide achieve these aims.”
