"South Yorkshire Police are committed to providing the best for its Police officers and Police staff in terms of Pre-Retirement information.
We have utilised PREP on a number of occasions to run pre-retirement courses and the feedback that I have received from SYP staff regarding the usefulness, the course content and the literature provided, has been very complementary.
Lorraine and her team are extremely professional and ensure that all officers are offered the level of support required to plan their futures to best effect."

Lisa McCandless HR Development Manager Manor Bakeries – Carlton:
"In order to prepare staff for their forthcoming retirement, Manor Bakeries, Carlton, have used the services of Pre-Retirement Consultant Services Ltd. for a number of years. The two-day course that is available helps staff to prepare for what can be a daunting experience.
The thought of retirement fills most people with apprehension and in some cases fear, the thought of no longer being looked upon as useful, fading away into obscurity, not knowing what to do with life are all comments that are heard time after time. The purpose of the pre-retirement service is to focus attention away from this, make people aware that it is time to re-invent oneself, look at what's good for you, whether this be pottering in the garden or jet setting around the world.
The
preparation that is offered from PREP allays the fears that people have
towards retirement, the advice provided is informative but most
importantly of all useful. When staff have attended the course they have
requested can they do it all over again as it was so good.
The topics covered include such things as, Retirement Planning, Finance, Health & Welfare, Hobbies etc. all points that we take for granted until the years start ticking away. Well done to PREP for softening the blow."

"Prep
have delivered the Pre Retirement and Mid Life Seminars for Sheffield City
Council for the last 10 years.
Everyone who attends says how extremely informative the sessions and and
how they cover issues that they had not thought of. Now due to demand, we
have extended our Courses with Prep from 1 to 2 days. The general consensus
of delegates was that they needed more time with the speakers so as to cover
all the implications regarding their Retirement.
Overall we have had nothing but positive feedback about Preps Pre Retirement
Events."
