Client feedback

“Many organisations and people provide the services that clients need. In my opinion, the differentiator is in the way those services are provided and to that extent, Kathy embodies the qualities that I have come to value from PSITL. Kathy is organised but not fussy; diligent but not dogmatic; persistent without being pushy and compliant in a pragmatic way. Whilst she takes ownership and drives issues forward, Kathy is a team player who uses her and her colleagues experience to provide services to her trustee client whilst working closely with those like me representing the sponsoring employer. She works collaboratively with advisers but constructively challenges the scope of services, fees and service standards whenever necessary and makes sure that member needs are always taken into account. I enjoy working with her and trust that she will deliver what is required by the trustee and the members they represent in a manner satisfactory to the sponsoring employer. ”

Stuart Barker,

Internal Pensions Consultant, RSPCA

“We now have a very collaborative approach between trustees and employer.”

Peter Millard,

Company Secretary, TRL Limited

“Ever increasing regulation has placed a heavy burden on trustees both in terms of time and the risk of non-compliance. PSGS has the experience and the resources to help trustees manage these burdens.”

Mark Atkinson,

Partner at CMS Cameron McKenna

“I wanted to look at the effectiveness of our trustee board, so Gillian, our PSGS scheme secretary, provided their trustee self-assessment tool to help me gather thoughts and opinions from others on the board. The tool was extremely easy to use and asked all the right questions to help me collect the information I needed as Trustee Chair. It is a great example of the way PSGS shares knowledge with their clients and makes dealing with key governance issues easy. As well as enabling me to meet one of the Regulator’s 21st century trusteeship requirements, using the tool has flagged trustee training needs and ways we could improve trustee meetings further. ”

Claire Silvester,

Vector Aerospace

“I enjoy working with PSGS and we have a very positive relationship. I was new to pensions and found them very helpful.”

Bruce Allison,

RTUK

“Very happy with PSGS as an organisation and that opinion is derived from the performance of those that represent them.”

Sean Hoyle,

Wightlink

Supporting charity work has always been important to the PSIT team and we are really excited to have chosen a new charity to start working with - Daisy's Dream.

Daisy's Dream is a Berkshire charity that supports children and their families who have been affected by life threatening illness or bereavement of someone close to them.

The PSIT team are aiming to undertake a number of fundraising events over the coming months and would really appreciate your support, whether through sponsorship or attendance at an event. More details will be posted as each event is set up but, as PSIT has agreed to match any amount the team raise, we'd like everyone to dig deep!

You can donate via our Just Giving page at: www.justgiving.com/PSIT
