Garry and Bronwyn Todd
Building a business brings its share of challenges but can also be hugely rewarding, as Garry and Bronwyn Todd can testify. Since they set up Huddersfield-based electrical contractors JGT Electrical Limited in 1994, after Garry had been made redundant from his previous post, the business has gone from strength to strength.
With Garry’s 45-plus years of experience in the sector and Bronwyn taking control of the financial side, after she quit her own job as a lecturer in hairdressing, the company has since grown to a workforce of 20, working for big name clients including McVitie’s, Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and West Co.
While the business has been a key focus, the couple have also been careful to think about ensuring a secure financial future, by making private pension arrangements when they set up JGT to complement their occupational pensions.
The couple originally had another accountant when they set up the business but after a few years wanted to work with a firm that offered a greater range of services to suit the needs of their growing company.
They moved to Lambert Roper & Horsfield, which initially managed their pension scheme until its sister company LRH Wealth Management subsequently took on that role.
With a time now approaching when the Todds are starting to think about making use of their pensions, they are happy with both the results from their investments and the relationship with LRH Wealth Management.
Bronwyn says: “They invest our pension fund on our behalf and send us regular reports, so we know exactly what is happening at all times. We also meet Sue West, one of the directors at LRH Wealth Management, once or twice a year and I can speak to her at any time on the phone.
“They know exactly what we have and what we are doing with it and we have found it to be a very good relationship.”
