Ronan Goggin, Managing DirectorCorporate Employee Benefits: A Key Focus
OLL stands out for its extensive involvement in the corporate employee benefit sector, managing over 170 schemes in Ireland. While they also cater to private clients and executives, the corporate side remains a focal point. The core of their offerings lies in financial wellbeing, covering diverse aspects like pension schemes, protection benefits, and income continuation.
Engaging with Employees: A Game-Changer
Ronan emphasizes that retirement planning is inherently linked to employee benefits, with the pension scheme being a pivotal component. The company’s approach distinguishes itself by prioritizing interaction and engagement with individual members of the pension schemes, recognizing the diverse needs and aspirations within a group. This stands in stark contrast to the passive, one-size-fits-all methods employed by many competitors.
“We stand apart with our tailored approach to pension schemes, which involves actively engaging with each member of the schemes and understanding their unique requirements,” he says.
Addressing the challenges clients face, Ronan highlights the struggle of adequately funding for retirement while navigating the rising cost of living. A significant hurdle is the pervasive lack of engagement and information among scheme members. OLL positions itself as a beacon of awareness, actively involving members and customizing their journey based on specific needs.
The company’s success story is woven not just with years of experience but with a dedicated team led by Helen Kenny, an industry veteran with over 25 years of expertise in Employee Benefits Schemes. The team benefits from strategic partnerships with major life companies, ensuring efficient back-office operations while maintaining a client-centric approach.
While specific case studies remain confidential, Ronan offers insights into the transformative impact on corporate benefit schemes. Through audits and assessments, the company firstly identifies and rectifies inefficiencies, optimizing charging structures and introducing top-performing asset managers. Thereafter, by fostering engagement, they empower members to understand and actively participate in their retirement journey.

Interaction therefore becomes the linchpin of the company’s differentiation. Ronan stresses the importance of personal engagement, not just for better client outcomes but also for the growth of OLL’s own business, as scheme members become longer term private clients of the firm. This approach results in a holistic financial planning service, catering to clients from the earliest stages of financial planning to legacy structuring, embodying the cradle-to-grave philosophy.
In a financial landscape often dominated by remote interactions, Ronan’s company stands out as a beacon of personalized service, actively navigating the intricate world of corporate employee benefits. With a rich history, a dedicated team, and a commitment to engagement, they continue to redefine financial wellness for businesses and individuals alike.
