Nest pension

Nest is very easy to communicate with when I phoned them and very helpful. I transferred my other pension into Nest and they did all the work once I gave them the details of my other pension pot.
I am very happy with Nest Pension so far.

Lacking in knowledge with regards to their pension scheme. Reading from website rather than answering questions. More like a very basic call centre.

The company is well organised

The company is well organised. Everything works well. It is a bit difficult to find some things, but not critical. I am an older person and not tech- savvy, probably that was why I struggled a bit. My money was safe, the process of communication was easy. They offered several ways of managing my money. I am satisfied with the service and may go to them again
