Client feedback

“Appointing Kevin as KBC professional trustee was one of the best decisions the bank took. He complements the other two trustees and also appreciates the position of the employer too. The experience a professional trustee adds is invaluable and they can share their knowledge and market practice within the KBC plan. Kevin manages the budget in consultation with the bank, fully debriefs all parties and maintains a constant dialogue with myself (as HR Manager) and trustees. Since we have worked together for a number of years, Kevin also appreciates some of the limitations we face ie budgets, and always comes up with a proactive approach and solution. His input is particularly valued by the bank trustee who is an actuary in our pensions department in Belgium Head Office. ”

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

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.
