“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. ”

Sharron King,

KBC Bank

“Thanks for all your help!”

“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. ”

Partner at Hogan Lovells

5k SuperNova charity run for Different Strokes

On a cold and fresh Saturday evening, Kate Barette, Kevin Kenneally, Chloe Key, Julie Karavis and Simon Brandt ran the 5k SuperNova run at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London to raise money for Different Strokes.

Following a zumba style warm up, with a backdrop of the ArcelorMittal Orbit and the West Ham stadium, they ran a wiggly path through the park with several hundred other glow in the dark runners.

Mid-way through they got a ’Come on team Different Strokes’ shout out motivating them to get through the rest of the run. They all crossed the finish line smiling and pleased with their run times. More importantly, they raised £700 (and still counting) for Different Strokes.

This was out of their comfort zones and at times they wondered why they had given up their precious Saturday night when they could have been at home watching Strictly, or anywhere warm. On reflection, whilst enjoying their post run drink, they all agreed they were glad they made the effort and put on their fluorescent legwarmers. They said it was a really enjoyable evening, not only were they able to raise money for Different Strokes but it was a great way to spend time with colleagues away from the world of pensions too.

Kate’s not sure if she is ready for a 10k run just yet but Chloe and Simon have signed up to do a 50km Ultra Challenge next year so watch this space!
