Trusted By Construction For Over 60 Years

j-and-d-logo-small"Over the past few years, we at Jenkins & Davies Engineering have sadly lost several valued colleagues due to ill health. Thankfully, our employees were covered under the Welplan Employee Benefits scheme, for Death in Service Benefit which provided much-needed financial support to their grieving family..
From the moment we informed Welplan of the bereavements, the response we received was exceptional. The team demonstrated genuine empathy, professionalism, and compassion throughout the entire process. Claims were handled quickly and efficiently, and after only a small amount of paperwork, the bereaved families received financial support within a short period of time. 
It brought comfort to us as an employer to know that our colleagues' loved ones were being properly supported during such a heart-breaking time.  It was immense relief for the family knowing that some of their immediate financial concerns had been eased, allowing them them the space to grieve without the fear of how they would cope financially. 
Jenkins & Davies and the families involved would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the team at Welplan  for their patience, expertise, empathy, and professionalism. Their caring approach and dedication made an incredibly difficult time far easier to endure, and their support will never be forgotten."

Ensure Your Benefits Are Paid According To Your Wishes

If a claim is made, an up-to-date Expression of Wish form helps make the process clearer and smoother. The form lets employees tell us how they would like their benefits to be distributed, helping ensure their wishes are understood and reducing potential delays at a difficult time.

Employees can download an Expression of Wish form below, and we also accept forms created by employers. We recommend that employers keep completed forms safely on record and encourage employees to review them regularly, especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce or changes in dependants.
