TUC welcomes launch of National Employment Savings Trust

Commenting on the launch of the new brand identity for personal accounts, the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST), TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:

'Today is another milestone in building a new pension system with the hatching of NEST.

'This will give millions the chance to build up their own pension nest eggs with the support of their employer.

'NEST is a smart identity for the low-cost pensions savings scheme that we desperately need.'
