Tuesday September 23, 2025, London – More than 540 colleagues from the Nottingham Building Society now have access to financial planning 1 to 1 thanks to a new work advantage funded by the employer provided by Octopus Money.
Launched during the UK savings week, the initiative is designed to help employees progress real on their financial objectives – whether it is to buy a first house, prepare for retirement or maximize their savings. Thanks to confidential coaching and advice alongside practical planning tools, colleagues can now access personalized support that helps them transform good intentions into action.
The news arrives at a time when New research by Nottingham Building Society Reveals that nearly three out of four British adults (72%) – the equivalent of 39 million people – admit that they lose sleep for money worries. (1) The biggest concerns concern savings; Among those who say that silver worries are awake, a third (33%) fear that they are using too much of their savings to cover the increase in lifestyles, and 18% are concerned with the amount of inflation – now at 3.8% – raises their savings.
Lisa Winnard, Director of the People of Nottingham Building Society, said: “This week of savings in the United Kingdom, we want to highlight the importance of financial planning. Our employees are ambitious about their future – whether it is to buy a first house, to save for children or to prepare for retirement.
“We believe that support for our employees to feel confident and control their finances is just as important as helping our members. By giving colleagues access to personalized financial coaching, we invest in their well-being today while helping them build a stronger future. When our people prosperous, then do the communities that we serve – and that is what being a modern future is absolutely. ”
Financial concerns continue to be a major source of stress at work in the United Kingdom; And with busy careers and personal lives, even financially informed employees may have trouble carving out time or head space to put their own plans in practice. (2)Ruth Handcock, CEO of Octopus Money, said: “Many people working in financial services already have clear objectives in mind. What they often need is structure, tools and confidence to bring these plans to life. What the Construction Company of Nottingham does is powerful: first helping its own inhabitants, it creates a training effect which supports financial resilience not only within the company, but in the communities it serves. “
Tom Bestwick, 32, of derby, immediately registered when he heard of the new advantage.
Tom explained that he uses the financial planning service to achieve long -term financial resilience and security for his young family.
The Partnership of Octopus Money with the Nottingham Building Society intervenes while more employers across the United Kingdom introduce monetary coaching as a basic work advantage. The service is now available for 200,000 employees, including Experian, BNP Paribas, Blick Rothenberg and Money Supermarket staff.
