“Where PSGS are appointed to act in conjunction with an existing body of trustees, we have found that they are quickly able to fit in well and gain the trust and respect of their co-trustees. ”

“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.”

PS Independent Trustees and HR Trustees rebrand as Punter Southall Governance Services

Topic:

PSGS news

Date published:

Monday, 5 November 2018

Following the merger of PS Independent Trustees (PSIT) and HR Trustees (HRTL) in January, the business has today rebranded as Punter Southall Governance Services (PSGS).

Wayne Phelan, PSGS’s Managing Director, commented:

“Our new name reflects two things. First is the true depth of services our business offers - trusteeship and outsourced services (such as scheme secretarial and pensions management) are of equal importance to us and this wasn’t reflected appropriately in either of the PSIT or HRTL names.

Secondly, we are now able to align ourselves much more closely with the Punter Southall Group and our sister business within PSG. This followed the sale of the Punter Southall actuarial, administration and investment consulting businesses to Xafinity plc at the start of the year.”

The HR Trustees name will continue to be used by the specialist Pension Protection Fund (PPF) team within PSGS in their work with the PPF.
