Pension Options available?

I have a company pension that I have paid into each month for the last 10 years and I add AVCs to that money.
Is this the only pension I am allowed to have or do I have the option to have an additional Stakeholder/SIPP scheme?

Thanks in advance:confused:

    Your options are also not limited to stakeholder/sipp. You also have personal pensions to consider. Dont rule out stocks and shares ISAs either. Especially if your retirement income is around the £21,000 mark in todays terms.
