Bigger, Bulkier…. And less in it? The New Look Professional Pensions


Professional Pensions magazine has undergone a design change. Less a newspaper, more a magazine now I’d say. A bold front cover in a magazine style. A couple of pages of weekly news in a format that looks to have been borrowed from Pensions Insight. And a ‘numbers’ feature that leans heavily on a Times idea.

My distress at the new design is not how it looks but what is in it. Page after page of lengthy articles. Much of it ‘old news’. When will we all have time to read this stuff? That’s assuming Professional Pensions stays as a weekly. It looks more like a monthly now.

But don’t fear, help is at hand… (dramatic music helpful at this point)…. Grumpy Old Pension Men has gone on to YouTube. Everyone can access it. Everyone can comment on it. A short five to eight minute weekly TV digest of pensions news, provided in a slightly provocative manner with a good dose of grumpiness.
