Re: Pension advisor required
Not sure what sort of pension advice is being sought.
Human resources should be able to detail what pension they are entitled to, and about buying added years by a lump sum on retirement.
Many public bodies have a pre-retirement course where there will be someone who can answer questions on pension products.
Most Unions have an agreement with a company with whom members can get AVCs but they also have products where you can buy a pension with a lump sum on retirement. Cornmarket I think deal with several Unions - but several posters here consider their charges high (although I suspect many of the pension providers have excessive charges).
