The financial services landscape has continued to adapt to this, with a market as competitive as ever. We have observed an increasing need for a hybrid approach to supporting SMEs and offering seamless service, with business owners wanting fully personalised offerings as well as integration between personal and digital channels. To meet this need, we have decided to invest.

The last year has seen the 1pm Group consolidating the strengths of our Group to make it easier for our customers and brokers to understand what we offer and how we can support our customers’ growth strategies.
