Client feedback


Kevin takes control of the meetings whilst fully involving the other two trustees. His experience shines through and he is also a very good listener, making all parties feel involved.

Back in the day there was a large trustee board, with several independents (from the financial world) and the ex-Chairman of the company was offered the role as Chair of Trustees as a sweetener when he stepped down. Unionised company then divided - broad range of active members. They needed some expertise, consistency and leadership during this time. Wanted a serious/professional to lead and guide the trustees.

Ann and her team are very knowledgeable and proactive, liaise well with our other advisers and provide the Trustees with an invaluable secretarial service.

Chair of Trustees, Comet
​I enjoy working with PSGS and we have a very positive relationship. I was new to pensions and found them very helpful.
Bruce Allison,

We always receive an extremely high level of professionalism from PSGS, allowing us to make informed and appropriate decisions. Their advice is always timely and well received, allowing us to focus on what are the important key issues. They are always accessible and I would not hesitate to recommend their services!

HR Director, Volvo Group UK Limited
They have helped us save much more and created a cohesive plan to de-risk whilst building an integrated pension team.

New trustee training course dates added

Topic:

Legal & governance

Date published:

Wednesday, 11 January 2017

The Pensions Regulator has said it is "determined to drive up standards of governance and administration, and the competence of those managing private sector trust-based occupational pension schemes". It has also threatened tougher enforcement against trustees who fail to meet the required standards.

Targeted education of trustees is just one of the ways the Regulator believes improved standards can be achieved.

As well as taking trustees through the basics of the Regulator's trustee knowledge and understanding (TKU) scope guidance, this course includes:

  • real life examples from a pension trustee's point of view
  • a look at topical pension scheme issues

Our trustee training course will be interactive, with plenty of practical examples and opportunities for discussion and questions.

Our TKU course is aimed primarily at new trustees of defined benefit pension schemes (or those who would like a refresher). 2017 dates can be found on our Events & training page
