Personal Group Holdings Plc (AIM: PGH) is a leading provider of employee benefits and financial services, working with blue chip corporates across the UK since the Group was established in 1984.
The Group's integrated benefits and insurance programmes offer employers a cost effective means of attracting, retaining and motivating employees. Personal Group's tailored employee benefits packages include insurance products such as hospital and convalescence plans, death benefit and income protection plans; lifestyle benefits such as holiday and retail discounts; flexible benefit programmes; and a range of tax efficient benefits such as childcare vouchers.
In total Personal Group offers access to benefits to over 1.2 million employees, and clients include 3663, Benfield Motor Group, Northumbrian Water Limited, Priory Group, Regatta, Road Chef, Spire Healthcare, TNT and Vinci Construction. Against a backdrop of the government's focus on increasing the responsibility of the individual in terms of lifestyle protection and insurance products, Personal Group enables the employer to put the structure in place for their employees to achieve this more easily.

For the year to 31 December 2012 the Group reported revenue of over £27 million and underlying PBT of £9.4 million. With a strong balance sheet and a progressive dividend policy, Personal Group is focused on increasing the momentum in its sales activity and investing in the business to drive future growth.
