Employee Benefits Specialist
Tailoring Employee Benefits to Your Business Needs.
About Aldermont Group
At Aldermont Group, we offer a holistic approach to employee benefits tailored to our clients requirements.
Aldermont Group was established in 2014 by our founder Gareth Thomas, after holding senior sales positions at AXA Health, VitalityHealth and Towergate Health & Protection (formerly The Health Insurance Group).
His drive was to build a boutique advisory service, where the client’s requirements are at the heart of everything we do, with service being a major part of our proposition.
We have continually delivered on our core values since 2014, which is why we grow month on month, year on year and rarely lose a client, evidenced by our 2022-2023 retention rate being 98%.

What our clients think
Historically, we were paying much higher rates for our health insurance and we were not receiving any type of service. We have now been working with Gareth for more than 4 years. I always feel in good hands with Gareth and I can trust what he says
The quality of customer service we receive is superb. The team take a very proactive approach in managing the insurance services that we have subscribed to. I would thoroughly recommend Gareth and his team. They have a professional desire to fully understand their clients’ requirements
I’ve found him to be very professional and the fact that he personally visits us every year to review our needs and to present the outcome of his market search means the service we get is head and shoulders above what we got from our previous brokers. I’m very happy to recommend.
Why we’re passionate about employee benefits & wellbeing
Employee Health & Wellbeing has become a crucial part of a company’s strategy, as evidenced in the CIPD Health & Wellbeing at Work Survey Report September 2023. It was reported that 53% of companies confirmed they had a standalone wellbeing strategy in support of their wider organisation strategy.
This is an increase compared to the same survey conducted in 2022.This increase from 2022, may be attributable to the increase in sickness absence over the last 12 months. Sickness absence has risen from 5.8 days in 2019 to 7.8 days per employee per annum on average, which is the highest level in a decade.
This is why Aldermont Group are passionate about Employee Benefits & Wellbeing. We support companies with their health & wellbeing strategies and aim to assist businesses with sickness absence and creating a healthier more inclusive culture.

Employee Assistance Programmes
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a telephone and online based support system which offers proactive, preventative support for your employees. EAP’s are designed to help your organisation assist employees dealing with issues that could be affecting their home or work life.
Dental Cover
Private dental care provides the reassurance of accessing a dentist quickly and easily. Research shows some patients have waited up to three years for an NHS appointment and more than a third of people struggle to pay for or avoid any dental treatment due to cost*. Due to the lack of NHS dentists and the associated cost of dental treatment in the UK, almost a quarter of employers now opt to provide some form of cover for their employees**

Group Risk Products
Group Life Insurance
A Group Life Insurance policy provides a lump sum which is paid to the family or beneficiaries of an employee in the event of their death. It’s a low-cost way to demonstrate the organisation cares about its employees and their families, which may help to attract and retain key talent. It’s also the most popular of the group risk benefits. According to Swiss Re Group Watch 2022, it accounts for around three quarters of all group risk policies with more than 10.5m people covered.
Group Income Protection
A Group Income Protection policy provides employees with a replacement income, when they cannot work for an extended period of time due to illness or injury. The payment is calculated as a percentage of the employees salary and is usually around 75% of the employees basic earnings. Payments continue until the employee can return to work or until they reach the end of the payment period set by the employer.
Group Critical Illness
A Group Critical Illness policy offers a tax-free lump sum to an employee upon diagnosis of a critical illness. The conditions covered vary with each insurer, however cancer, heart attack and stroke conditions are usually covered. The policy aims to offer reassurance to employees and mitigate potential financial problems if an employee becomes seriously ill.
Business Protection Products
Keyperson Protection
When you think about protecting a business it’s important to think about key employees who could have a significant impact on the company if they’re no longer able to work or have passed away.
Key Person Protection helps protect a business if a key employee dies or becomes seriously ill. The policy pays a lump sum directly to the company. This payment can help towards business continuity and recruitment of a replacement for the role.
