New employer but same WPP?

Just wondering what happens when you leave one employer who go with one workplace pension provider & you go to a new employer who also uses the exact same pension provider?

Do you contributions go in to the same pot or is it like a second account?

    It varies.

    Same provider, but could be a different product type. e.g. CIMP, GPPP, GSHP, MT.  The first three would be employer specific but the latter can be consolidated.

    That's what happens when you post half asleep. Thanks for pointing that out. Can a mod please move to relevant forum.

    How do you find out the product type? 

    All I know is last pension was with The People's Pension & that is the same provider that the new employer uses too.
