Client feedback

“Very professional and engaged service.”

Danny Nussbaum,

HR Director, Volvo

“I find Colin proactive rather than reactive. He is also supportive.”

“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. ”

“Their pragmatic approach helps with quick and easy decision making. Another approach might have made things more difficult.”

Mark Assinder,

Bouygues

“PSGS have provided sound and professional advice through a number of difficult pension decisions – would thoroughly recommend.”

George Batho ,

HR Director, Linde Material Handling

“The team provide an excellent service with practical and commercial input that we have not found with anyone else.”

We’ve been lucky to have been in the position to take on new staff this year and are pleased to welcome three new members to the PSGS team.

Kate Barette joined our specialist Pension Protection Fund (PPF) team as an Assistant Scheme Manager in July and was a lucky participant in our first ever socially distanced garden ‘lockdown induction’. She is an experienced Paraplanner and joined us from Origen Financial Services.

At the end of September, Tom Corten joined from XPS where he was a Pensions Administrator. He is a Trainee Scheme Manager and supporting our team on scheme secretarial appointments.

Simon Lewis joins us as a Client Director from National Grid, where he was part of the leadership team for UK pensions delivery. His Pensions Technical Manager role included responsibility for 17 staff delivering projects, communications, data systems and legislative change, finance and accounting services to the pension trustees and employer.

They are all based out of our Reading office but will continue to work mainly from home, coming into the office one day a week in their socially distanced bubbles.

It was great that Tom, Kate and Simon (and their families) could join our virtual summer fete and start to get to know the PSGS team ahead of their formal start dates.
