You may have already noticed that our site has had a revamp! While the information on the website had been kept up to date, the look and feel had become quite dated. We’ve given the website a makeover and you should now see a brighter and more modern site, but still with easily accessible information. You should be able to find your way around the site, but there are a couple of new features we’d like to point out to you:

• Quick Links: a link to our most commonly used member forms is now available straight from the homepage. We hope you find this useful.
• Latest News: our news section has a new look, and you can see the latest news direct from the homepage and also from many of the other pages (see the links on the right hand side).
• Coats news: many of our pages now feature a link (on the right hand side) to the news section of the main coats.com website.

In the future, we intend to give members access to their pension records direct from the Plan website. We are working with our software suppliers to make this happen, once we are sure that the security and other issues surrounding this are in place. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy using our new look site.

We are pleased to announce that our Explanatory Booklet for our active members has been completely revised and updated.

We have reduced the length of the booklet so that it is more of a summary and easier for members and potential members to read. We also wanted to make the booklet an interactive, web-based document to save on printing. The booklet contains clickable links to more information where appropriate. By cutting out the printing and associated costs, we have significantly reduced the cost of updating the booklet and, more importantly, we can update it as and when legislation or Plan changes occur. It can still be printed if you require.

We hope you like the new look and feel of the booklet – you can view it by clicking here.
