Client feedback


​Their pragmatic approach helps with quick and easy decision making. Another approach might have made things more difficult.
Mark Assinder,

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

They have helped us save much more and created a cohesive plan to de-risk whilst building an integrated pension team.

Claire offers a very approachable, professional and balanced service, recognising her obligations to the Scheme but providing an awareness of the Employer's perspective. We value Claire's wider industry knowledge and the experience she brings.
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.

Very responsive to any queries we have and proactive in managing our scheme to the best. Very happy with the support we are getting.

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
