Significant events
- “During the year, the business has continued to develop and sell new products to existing and new customers, including "Heywood Engage", a new member experience offering, "Heywood Passport" designed specifically for the pension risk transfer market and "Heywood ISP", the new Pension Dashboard interconnectivity solution.”
- “The business has also increased the number of data and insight services in readiness for pension dashboard connectivity, pension risk transfers, and the wider sound management of data.”
- “However, as the Group is currently being marketed for sale and has received multiple bids since the year end, this brings the prospect of a change of ownership in the next 12 months”
