As an Employee Benefits Expert, William helps employers save time, reduce costs, and stay compliant by making employee benefits work harder for them. Many businesses unknowingly overspend on pensions and insurance or miss out on savings altogether. William uncovers better value options across workplace pensions, private medical, life assurance, cash plans and more. If you’re not confident your current benefits are delivering value, he can help you improve them to become more efficient and effective.

Whether presenting to groups or meeting one-to-one, William brings complex topics to life in a relatable, jargon-free way.
A particular passion is improving financial wellbeing, an area many employers overlook but which has a profound effect on employee performance and satisfaction. Many employees silently struggle with anxiety, poor money habits, or simply a lack of trusted information. William helps bridge this gap through engaging workshops and individual sessions, encouraging people to challenge unhelpful beliefs and take confident steps toward financial control.
The cost-of-living crisis has made this work even more relevant. Beneath the surface of a seemingly engaged workforce, many are grappling with pressures their employers don't see, pressures that influence wellbeing, decision-making, and productivity. William gives employers insight into these hidden struggles and provides practical solutions that truly support their people.
Since the pandemic, the employee-employer dynamic has shifted. Employees now expect more and the most competitive businesses are rising to the challenge. While many larger firms have responded with richer benefit packages, SMEs often lag behind, not because of cost, but due to lack of guidance. William shows that better benefits don’t have to break the bank. With the right setup, even small changes can make a significant impact.
