Personal Pension

ANewEra

Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I haven't had time to search through all the old posts.
Currently I don't work, I left work almost 3 years ago to look after our 3 children, and don't intend going back - even part time- until they are all in primary school, so at least another 2 1/2 years. My husband works, but as yet his company has not started this new scheme that we keep hearing about.
In the mean time I would like to start a private pension but I have no idea where to go. I Bank with Barclays - do they provide this service? I have looked at their website bout couldn't find an answer. What does anyone else do? Any recommendations?

No. Barclays withdrew from providing advice on regulated products following a massive fine for mis-selling. Although the retail distribution review may also have been a reason as that has seen many of the banks and building societies pull out.

Any local IFA should be able to do this for you. https://www.unbiased.co.uk is the main website. It lists restricted and independent. You should select from independent as this gives whole of market access.
