A fresh start
2
Welcome to the Spring 2010 edition of Prulink. We hope you
enjoy this issue which has been refreshed for the start of what
will be a new era for the magazine. There are some different
articles as well as the old favourites as we look to the past, the
present and the future.
Prulink has been ‘the meeting place’ for our pensioners for many years and its
popularity amongst you is evident from the many photographs and stories that
are sent in for every issue. It is very encouraging to see how important your
working life has been and how much you all enjoy meeting up with your former
colleagues at the social events that are organised around the country. There is no
doubt that we have a thriving and very active pensioner network which is a great
testament to what it means to work for the Pru.
Keeping this network relevant and accessible to everyone is best achieved
through our Pensioner Visiting Services as it is through personal contact and local
events that you can really continue to keep in touch. Find out more about our
Pensioner Visitors on page 5.
The magazine can only do so much given that it is issued twice a year and
therefore many things are out of date before they are published. It has also
become longer and longer as we’ve tried to accommodate as many photographs
and news snippets as possible. To avoid Prulink becoming a ‘listing’ of names,
dates and photographs, it is now being given a new lease of life.
Future issues will still include news and photographs from you but the emphasis
will be on extending the role of the magazine to keep you in touch with general
interest features, news about the Company, comparing working life for people
at the Pru now with the experiences of our pensioners, and articles of interest
from guest contributors. There will still be features on individual pensioners but
they will be more in-depth and take the form of interviews. So, although your
contributions are still welcome, we will be focusing on one or two people per
issue and anniversary details and photographs will be limited.
We are sure that Prulink will continue to provide you with much enjoyment and
interest in the years to come. Please get in touch with the Prudential Pensioner
Welfare Office with any comments you may have, your contributions and any
thoughts for inclusion in future issues – their contact details are opposite.
Any contribution (e.g. photograph, newspaper article etc) sent in by post will be
returned to you by post if you include a self addressed envelope.

Goodbye to Nicky and Trisha...
Having provided such a dedicated service to Staff Pensioners for many years, it is
with regret that we say goodbye to Nicky Young and Trisha Haly who both left the
Company in November 2009.

It gives me great pleasure to be writing to you for the first time as
Group Chief Executive, as we look ahead to the opportunities that
2010 will certainly bring us.
A Message from the
Group Chief Executive
Iam truly honoured to have been given the opportunity to
lead a business, with such a distinguished heritage and
exciting future.
In 2009 we faced some of the most challenging economic
conditions experienced in decades, and yet throughout this
period of uncertainty the Group has proven itself to be both
not only strong, but also resilient. We stuck to our strategy of
focusing on the pre and post-retirement markets, meeting our
customers’ needs for savings, income and protection, and that
has served us well. We also remained financially disciplined,
managing our capital proactively but prudently and putting
value ahead of volume across our markets.
While all of our markets were affected by the global financial
turmoil, our businesses concentrated on what we do best:
staying close to our customers and listening to their needs.
Our life and asset management businesses, operating in
countries that are at different stages of their economic
development, present us with many opportunities to create
sustainable, long-term, profitable growth by meeting the needs
of our customers.
Our success in Asia continues to be exciting and compelling.
The building blocks we put in place over the last 15 years have
been critical and have enabled us to consolidate our position as
the leading international insurer in the region. Going forward,
Asia’s increasing affluence and changing demographics will
see the region become even more important to the Group,
offering further opportunities for profitable growth.
The US remains the world’s largest retirement market, and
Jackson, our US business, is strongly positioned within it.
Jackson responded very well to the challenges they faced in
2009 and benefited as a result, significantly increasing their
market share in the markets they have chosen to compete in.
In the UK, we continue to focus on the areas where we lead
the market, namely our with-profits and annuities products.
In 2009 customers increasingly looked for a more cautious
investment approach, which played to our strengths.
Our asset management businesses had a truly exceptional
year. Their market-leading positions and long track record of
strong investment performance have helped attract record
fund inflows.
M&G continued to benefit from its significant presence
across all the major asset classes and superior investment
performance.
“Looking ahead, we expect the business
environment to remain challenging as we
move further into 2010”
In 2009 there were also some changes at senior management
levels. I became Group Chief Executive on October 1, 2009
and inherited a strong legacy from Mark Tucker. I am
sure you will join me in paying tribute to his outstanding
leadership of the Group. We welcomed Nic Nicandrou
as our new Chief Financial Officer and Rob Devey, who
succeeded Nick Prettejohn as Chief Executive, Prudential
UK and Europe. I am delighted they have joined the
Group, their arrival further enhances our already strong
management team.
Looking ahead, we expect the business environment to
remain challenging as we move further into 2010, and as
a management team we will continue to be disciplined
and focused. As a Group we are well-positioned to take
advantage of significant opportunities in the markets where
we have chosen to compete. Demand for retirement,
savings and protection products will remain strong, making
our revenue streams resilient. We will continue to meet this
demand by delivering on what has been our fundamental
promise for 160 years: offering products that deliver good
value to our customers and meet their needs.
I am optimistic about our future and look forward to making
the most of the opportunities available to the Group.
I would like to wish you and your families the very best for
the rest of the year.
Tidjane Thiam
Group Chief Executive

People volunteer for
many different reasons:
•
•
•
•
They know from
experience how
sometimes the circle of
people you can call on
for help can become
limited as you grow
older. So, to know
that there is a fellow
Prudential or Scottish
Amicable pensioner
available to help
can make all the
difference.
They want to keep
contact amongst all
the network of
pensioners by helping
to organise or publicise
local events.
They want to
keep contact and
involvement with
the Company and
find fulfilment in
undertaking this role.
They want to keep
active and interested
in the people around
them.
The Prudential Group Staff Pensioner Magazine Spring 2010
The crucial role of the
Pensioner Visitors
As you can imagine, with nearly 19,000 Prudential and Scottish
Amicable pensioners, it is quite a job to maintain contact with everyone.
That’s why our volunteer visitors are so crucial in maintaining the
network and helping you keep in touch with other pensioners.
Whatever the reasons, the Pensioner Visitors are now more important than
ever as they are the main point of contact between you and the Company
and can put you in touch with other pensioners in your area. It is not a very
onerous job and doesn’t take up too much time but it is valued by everyone.
We are always looking for more volunteers to join so that we can keep a good
geographical spread and cover as many pensioners as possible. We’ve listed those
volunteers who have agreed to share their contact details on page 24 of the magazine and
grouped them into regions so that you can easily find the person who` lives nearest to you.
As well as support from Prudential Welfare, you will receive a handbook from the
Prudential, which will give you some background and information to assist you in your
role. The handbook was recently updated and all existing Visitors will be issued with a
new, replacement copy shortly.
If you are interested in finding out about volunteering as a Pensioner
Visitor please contact the Prudential Pensioner Welfare Office –
their contact details are on page 3.

Your letters
Star letter - Follow your dreams
Having just completed 10 years of retirement, for which I am most grateful to Prudential and the people that made
my working life so enjoyable, I thought I would share with you how it is for me and my wife, Carol. We try to
portion out each year, whilst good health permits, by travelling for six months with our caravan and spending six
months helping family and friends, doing projects that save them expense. To celebrate our 10th year, we decided to
do a 10,000 mile trip which involved visiting 11 European countries with the highlight being the North Cape situated
at one of the most northerly points of Europe. We have made many friends whilst travelling and the thing that has
become so significant is that as Europeans, we are so similar in the way that we think, after the fun of getting to
understand each other!!
I have found the Lonely Planet Guide to Europe most useful when trying to
communicate along with that big smile that I perfected as a member of the
Prudential Field Staff. Look out for the slogan at the back of our caravan
which says “FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS” –
because that is what we try to do!!
Alan Jilley Field Staff (retired 1999)
It’s a small world
My husband and I emigrated to Australia in
November 2008 to be with our two sons and
four grandchildren. We have settled on the Central
Coast and our home is a 10 minute walk from the ocean.
I joined a Bridge Club in Terrigal run by a gentleman
called Des Withall. In the course of our conversation
the Pru was mentioned and it turned out that he had
also worked for the Pru. He worked in England during
the war and afterwards transferred to the Sydney office,
retiring in 1991. His father John Withall also worked for
the Pru at Holborn Bars from 1915 to 1939 and Cardiff
after the last war. Also his brother Aidan Withall worked
for the Pru in Cardiff, Birmingham and Nottingham.
What a small world and what a family history with the
Pru. I myself worked for 17 years in the Bristol office.

Singapore flyer
In February I spent two weeks in Singapore visiting my
granddaughter who works there. It’s an amazing
city with a very up-market metro system, no litter and,
despite traffic including 23,000 taxis, there are very few
traffic jams. It is a very safe city and I am looking forward
to returning next year.
Arthur Smith
Field Staff, Bristol (retired 1992)

It’s never too late!
In 2006 I had the opportunity
to join my daughter who had
recently emigrated to Seefeld in
Austria. At 90 years old, this was a
great adventure for me. Luckily most
people speak English as it is a
compulsory subject here. Seefeld lies
between Innsbruck and Mittenwald
in Germany, in an alpine meadow on
a plateau at 3,872 feet formed by a
glacier in the last ice age and famous
as a ski resort. The air is clear and
clean, fresh and invigorating and
the drinking water tastes like wine!
The medical service is way ahead of
England; you can see a doctor in the
morning and attend the hospital, be
diagnosed and treated within the
next few hours. Even dentists see
you the same day, and although you
pay for fillings, everything else is
covered. The best of Seefeld though
is the views of the mountains all
around.

Keswick in
Bloom winners
M y
The Prudential Group Staff Pensioner Magazine Spring 2010
wife Barbara and I have won the
2009 Keswick Tourism Association’s
Keswick in Bloom and best in Association for
our display at our guest house, Fell House.
It’s a combined effort; Barbara chooses the
scheme, sticks them in the ground, then I
water them. This year our display included
impatiens, dahlias, daisies, geraniums and
a variety of plants which have provided a
general splash of colour rather than any
ordered theme.
We were shocked, but really pleased to have
won both awards as the gardens and parks in
Keswick are always a delight.
Colin Hossack
Pensioner Visitor
And remember...
As we mentioned in the introduction, your contributions are still
welcome, but we will be focusing on one or two people per issue and
anniversary details and photographs will be limited. If you’d still like
to send in your letters to us then please send your contributions to the
Prudential Pensioner Welfare Office.

adventurous
An
So many of you have really taken advantage of your retirement to take on
challenges, go to new places or develop talents that may have been lying dormant
when you were working at the Pru. Here are just two of the extraordinary stories
that we pulled out of the post bag.
Round the world in two years
In June 2002 Mary Bryant and her partner Warren
(now her husband) left the shores of England for the
holiday of a lifetime. Not your ordinary sit on the beach
and soak up the sun trip away, but a two year cycle
through 15 countries and three continents.
It had all started with a casual thought that they
would one day cycle around the world.
The throw away remark then became something that
they thought about more and more and as their New Year
resolution for the new millennium they started to plan in
earnest and to prepare themselves physically, fi nancially
and emotionally for their big adventure.
Mary worked in Annuities in Reading before taking early
retirement in 2002, just a couple of months before
they planned to start their
trip. Since returning home,
she has turned her experiences
into a book entitled ‘Four Cheeks
to the Wind’, published
by Troubador.
The book describes the wonderful people they met in
some very out of the way places, away from the tourists.
They had no back-up and were entirely on their own as
they travelled across the world. From the mountainous
roads of Italy to the dirt roads of Cambodia; the beaches of
Sri Lanka to the temples of Japan; the blood-red poppies of
Northern France to the sacred lotus blossoms of Thailand;
the snow of Istanbul in December to the oppressive
humidity of Burma in April.
She has turned her experiences into a book
entitled; ‘Four Cheeks to the Wind’.
Mary would be interested to hear from former colleagues
or from anyone with questions or comments about her
book. You can email her at: maryandwarren@hotmail.com.

Brushing shoulders with
the President
Elizabeth and Will Sloan found themselves
unexpectedly invited to a once in a lifetime
opportunity to visit the White House in November 2008
– just after Barack Obama was elected president. The
invitation came from an American friend they had made
some years ago who was then a student at Oxford on
a Thouron Scholarship, studying for a doctorate in
Comparative Law.
“We kept in touch and visited our friend in Washington”,
said Elizabeth. “He fi rst worked for a prestigious law
fi rm, then clerked for one of the Supreme Court judges
and was subsequently appointed Associate Counsel to
President Bush. Once Obama was elected, he knew that
he would no longer be employed at the White House
after the inauguration and so arranged a lunch and a
tour of the White House for us.”
“It was such a privilege to have visited
the White House”, said Elizabeth.
The Prudential Group Staff Pensioner Magazine Spring 2010
The Sloans had to undergo rigorous and numerous
security checks both beforehand and on the day of their
visit. They were not allowed to take any photographs
inside the White House but did manage to see the
West Wing, the historical rooms in the Executive
Offi ces including the Indian Treaty room where the
UN Charter was signed; Room 180 where the Watergate
conversations were taped and the Vice President’s
Ceremonial Offi ce.
Included in their visit was a lunch in the leading power
dining room of Washington – the ‘mess’ located in the
West Wing under the Oval Offi ce. Executive Mess
rights are the privilege of about 30 of the President’s top
aides. It is run by the Navy – hence the name. Will had
President Bush’s favourite – the ‘White House Signature
Steak Lone Star Cowboy’ and they both had the
Signature dessert, ‘Chocolate Freedom’. Even the butter
was stamped with the presidential seal and the Navy
handed out boxes of red, white and blue presidential
M&Ms at the end of the meal.
“It was such a privilege to have visited the White
House”, said Elizabeth, “especially at a time when the
world was so deeply interested in the forthcoming
Obama Administration.”

The charity
Bed kits for children
Sleeping Children around the World, SCAW, is a
charity which was founded in 1970 by the husband
of my wife’s cousin. This is a Canadian charity
which my wife and I have supported for some years
and we are thrilled that they have reached their
target of 1,000,000 bed kits.
of the donations are used to provide a
100% mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket,
mosquito net (if applicable), clothes outfit, towel and school
supplies. Every child is photographed with the bed kit,
showing the donor’s name/country (or special occasion
message) on a label. Each photograph is then mailed back
to the original donor, providing a timeless way for the
donor to remember the child who so greatly benefited from
their generosity.

Oldest abseiler does it again!
H arry
The Prudential Group Staff Pensioner Magazine Spring 2010
Joseph once again took the plunge in an abseil to raise money for the Essex
Air Ambulance and St Clare Hospice in May last year. Harry entered the Guinness
Book of Records as the oldest person to abseil and managed to raise £1,047. Now aged 93,
Harry, who retired in 1981, received a civic award for his outstanding contribution to the
town of Harlow.
Pensioners to the rescue
Following retirement from the Prudential in 2003, my
wife, Carrie and I, moved to Ashbourne in the Peak
District where we trained to become Community First
Responders. This is a voluntary group, funded by the
local community, but attached to the NHS.
When someone in our area needs us they dial 999 and
we get paged. Our aim is to reach the patient in 5-10
minutes, whereas it can take 40 minutes for an ambulance
to get there, in these remote hillsides. We try to do at least
two 12 hour shifts a week and with the help of others we
keep the vehicle (a fully equipped 4x4, with blue lights
and siren) active 24/7, throughout the year. Never in my
wildest dreams, whilst working in Facilities Management,
did I expect to be racing through the country lanes of the
Peak District on blue lights.

Cycling 1,000 miles
for schools
am a Trustee for the charity Uganda Learn4Life and
I early last year completed a sponsored cycle ride
from Land’s End to John O’Groats in 19 days – 2 days
earlier than expected. Thanks to my Pru colleagues
and the local community, I raised £4,500 to continue
the expansion of school facilities in Uganda. Since
its formation, the charity has bought a school in the
Nakaseke village of Uganda, a toilet block, kitchen,
dormitories for boys and girls and a bore well to
provide fresh water for the 600 pupils. The funds that
I have raised will be used to build a science laboratory.
I visited Uganda with my wife Barbara in October
to see the work in hand and to meet the orphanage
pupils and school staff which was an inspirational and
fitting way to complete my expedition.

News, culture
Increased income for some pensioners
In November 2009 the Government changed the way income from savings is worked out for benefi t
purposes which could mean that hundreds of thousands of pensioner households see their income
increase by an average of £4 a week.
Some people with savings over £6‚000 who currently just miss out
on benefi ts might also be brought into entitlement by the change
and will need to make a claim. The new Budget provisions which
came into force in November 2009 will lift the so called ‘capital
disregard’ limit from £6‚000 to £10‚000. For people with savings
above £6‚000 in receipt of pension credit this means that the benefi t
money paid to them weekly will increase by up to £8. The higher
capital disregard will also apply to people aged 60 or over who
receive council tax or housing benefi t but not pension credit.
For more information on this change, please go to the Age Concern website: www.ageconcern.org.uk.
Calling all artists!
T
he EAC (Elderly Accommodation Council) has been
encouraging and celebrating the remarkable wealth
of talent, enthusiasm and creative energy of amateur
artists between 60 and 100+ since 1995. They run an
annual award for amateur artists over the age of 60 and
have a brand new Art Awards website where you can
see past entries and fi nd out about how you could enter
in this year’s awards.
If any of you do enter into this award, please let us
know so that we can feature your artistic talents in a
future issue of Prulink. Their website is
www.eacartawards.org.uk.
Help support the campaign
for care
Age Concern is running a campaign called The Big Q
to respond to the Government’s new proposals to
improve the quality of care and support for older people.
The proposals include:
• new ways you can pay for care;
• a national care system to end the current postcode lottery;
•
more ways older people can be supported to remain
well and independent.
They would like to hear from anyone who has a view on
whether or not there should be a national care system or
if care should be paid for by increasing taxes or any other
views you may have. You can download Age Concern’s
views on the new proposals from their website and email
them to get involved. Go to: www.ageconcern.org.uk
or phone their information line: 0800 00 99 66.

charts! It celebrates the songs that were the soundtrack
to British life during the Second World War, with a mix
of singalongs like “We’ll meet again” with orchestral light
music and Flanagan & Allen’s jazz ballad “We’ll Smile Again”. The CD
is out on Decca Records with 75p from every copy sold going to the
Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Look out for the
digital switchover
13
If you haven’t already switched your television
over to receive digital signals, then you will need
to do so soon as all televisions will need to be digital
by 2010.
If you can already watch more than five channels,
your television is probably digital already. If not, you
will need to adapt it by connecting it to a digital
set-top box, or replace it. This applies to all the TV
sets in your home, and to any recorder (video or
DVD) that you use to record from the TV.
It shouldn’t be complicated for you as nearly all
television sets can be converted with a digital box.
However, if you want to buy a new TV, look for the
digital tick logo – this means it’s designed to work
through the switchover.
Prices will vary depending on which service you
choose but there are two ways of going digital:
•
•
����������
�����������
A one-off payment with services such as
Freeview, Freesat from the BBC and ITV, or
freesat from Sky.
A monthly subscription with services such as
Sky TV or Virgin Media.
The Government has announced a Help Scheme
for some people who may have difficulty in going
digital. This scheme is being funded by the BBC
licence fee. If you are eligible you will receive
equipment, help with installation and follow-up
support, either free or for a subsidised fee. The
Help Scheme is available to people who are aged
75 or over, or registered blind or partially sighted,
or entitled to certain social security benefits.
For more information, please visit
www.helpscheme.co.uk or phone them on:
0800 40 85 900 or textphone: 0800 40 85 936.
note: to qualify for staff discount, you must telephone for a quote rather than apply online.
Online applicants qualify for an online discount but a staff discount cannot be applied as well.

Sir Brian Corby
Brian Corby, who died on
23 April 2009 (aged 79) after
suffering a stroke while on
holiday in India, was blessed
with a prodigious talent. He used
his abilities, combined with an
extraordinary work ethic, to
give outstanding service over a
long career.
After reading mathematics at St John’s College,
Cambridge, he joined the Prudential Assurance Company
in 1952. He qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of
Actuaries in 1955, when he was awarded the Joseph
Burn prize for special merit in passing the examinations.
On returning to London after four years’ service in South
Africa, he became a member of a new hand-picked team
reviewing the entire departmental functioning of head
office. There was inevitably some resistance to change.
In the 1970s he was promoted to Deputy General
Manager and then to General Manager; and he also
became Chief Actuary at the end of the decade. Brian
was appointed Group Chief Executive of the newly
formed ‘Prudential Corporation’ in 1981 and later an
executive director. On retiring in 1990, he became
Chairman of the Corporation, a post he held until 1995.
He was knighted in 1989.
The 1980s proved to be a demanding period. Brian
became much involved in the tricky exercise of
rationalising the field force to keep pace with the
competitive environment in financial services. Though
there were some setbacks on the way, the objectives
were gradually achieved, not least by the Corporation’s
successful purchase of Jackson National in the USA.
When the time came for Brian to hand over to a
successor, the Corporation had been radically changed
and was well positioned to develop further its role as a
leading international provider of retail financial services.
For many years Brian served on the Council of the
Institute of Actuaries; and his paper ‘Actuaries and
professional conduct’ (JIA 107) was an important
milestone in the development of professional standards.
In 1985 he also became chairman of the newly formed
Association of British Insurers, as well as a director of the
Bank of England. After his ‘retirement’ in 1990 he became
President of the CBI, President of the National Institute
of Economic and Social Research and President of the
Geneva Association as well as being a non-executive
director of several other organisations.
“Those of us who had the privilege of
knowing Brian remember him with
respect and deep gratitude.”
A service of thanksgiving for Brian was
held on 2 October 2009 in St Andrew’s
Church, Holborn – close to the former
Prudential building in which he spent
much of his working life. The esteem in
which he was held was exemplified by
the tributes given by his family, former
colleagues and other friends and also by
the number of others, from the
Prudential and elsewhere, who attended.
Those of us who had the privilege of
knowing Brian remember him with
respect and deep gratitude, not simply for the intellectual
and other qualities referred to above, but also for his
most pleasant and imperturbable manner, his willingness
to consider other points of view and, not least, his sense
of humour.
Brian is survived by his wife Elizabeth, who gave him
much support throughout his demanding career, and by
their son and two daughters.
