Client feedback

“In my experience, not all professional trustees are able to cope with tricky or potentially confrontational situations. I find PSGS has massive experience in getting involved, earning the respect of others and resolving such issues. They get stuck in – they are a first rate team.”

Katherine Dandy,

Partner at Sackers & Partners

“Kathy, may l take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance. There were many times l thought l was losing my mind during my efforts with Aviva. You were a pillar of support for me and you saw my case through to the very end. I cannot thank you enough but thank you again. It is through people like you who strive for professional fairness as well as thoroughness, HCA has such a good reputation.”

Ethel Chimutwe,

HCA International Ltd Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme

“PSGS offered the right support at very short notice, at reasonable cost, when we really needed it.”

Ian Edwards,

Chair of Trustee, Comet Pension Scheme

“Great communication and practical help.”

“I found the trustee training really beneficial, highly recommended. I am not a trustee, I represent the employer and I think it will be valuable for me in future, having a better understanding of the trustees' perspective.”

Dave Strain,

Royal Yachting Association

“Competent, friendly and very helpful.”

All defined contribution (DC) pension scheme members deserve good value. Whilst the policy intent to consolidate smaller DC schemes to bring about good value is to be welcomed, some of the proposals could actually increase complexity and/or cost – two factors that work against achieving good value.
