The GMC wishes to provide group life assurance benefits to its staff as one of its employee benefits. The benefits will provide cover for the majority of staff who are currently members of the GMC Group Personal Pension plan, estimated at 1 400 individuals.

We are looking for a broker to support us in securing a group life assurance provider who will deliver a high-quality service whilst ensuring that we get best value for money.
