Tracing its roots back to 1797, the Travis Perkins of today one of the UK’s biggest, best-known and oldest builders' merchants and home improvement companies. In 2010, Travis Perkins decided to overhaul its Group Life Assurance scheme and appointed Oval as advisers and scheme brokers.

The company, which operates nine brands including Wickes home improvement outlets, was already managing a significant change in membership to bring the total cover across 15,000 people. The company also took the opportunity to review which organisation was best placed to act as the new scheme's advisors.
