First and foremost, we sincerely hope you and your families are all keeping well and safe during these difficult times, and you are managing the increased challenges to your personal and professional lives.
The impact of Coronavirus on the pensions and investment industry is significant and far reaching and as such there is a great amount of activity and work for the team.
Over the last quarter we were thrilled to welcome a new client, proud to be shortlisted for an award, delighted to achieve our charity fundraising target and amazed how quickly we learnt everything there is to know about Zoom! We look forward to seeing you there soon!

Events
Prior to lock down, KBPR enjoyed getting out and about in the real world meeting faces old and new and catching up on what’s new in the industry. From client events such as the PASA Annual Seminar, countless press lunches, busy round tables and three days in Edinburgh at the PLSA, the start to 2020 was a busy one.
PLSA Investment Conference
Kate spent three interesting days in Edinburgh at the PLSA Investment Conference. Despite the effects of Coronavirus on the event for KBPR and our clients, it is safe to say the conference was a great success, with plenty of opportunities for networking, learning, socialising and even running – the PLSA team run was as well attended as ever.
PIPA 2020
The whole team is thrilled to have been shortlisted for the Financial Services PR Agency of the Year at the 2020 Pension and Investment Provider Awards from the FT and Pensions Expert, an award we are proud to have won five times. We’re looking forward to attending the event, in whatever format it takes!
Women In Pensions Awards
Kate is proud and honoured to have been invited to judge the Professional Pensions Women in Pensions awards for the third time and is very much looking forward to hearing all about the fantastic inspirational women that support our industry.
Happy Birthday to us
This month we celebrated our 11th anniversary with a virtual party, cake and a nice cuppa at home.
We hope that by the time we get to our 12th anniversary we will be back to normal, whatever that means!
KBPR Charity Run
In December the team took up the challenge of raising money for the Single Homeless Project, to help vulnerable homeless people and transform their lives. After a final fundraising push in January, the team achieved their ambition of raising £1,000. Thank you to everyone one who supported us in making this happen.
Welcoming a new client
Keep a look out for more on this soon, but we are thrilled to welcome onboard our new client, the innovative boutique fiduciary manager, SECOR Asset Management.
