Client feedback


Professional and forthcoming with support.

I find Colin proactive rather than reactive. He is also supportive.
The Trustee Training course is very good. Excellent coverage of material presented in an easy-to-digest manner and quality of presentation by both presenters.

Provided insight into what other schemes do - useful intelligence. High quality.

Gillian and Curtis provide an excellent service to the trustees. They are approachable and possess a huge amount of knowledge. Everything appears to work smoothly which I am sure is due to the immense amount of work they do in the background to ensure all paperwork is available and up to date.
Ian Woods,
KGPT trustees
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.

GMPs: to reconcile or not to reconcile? That is the question.

Should pension trustees be asking their scheme administrator to undertake a reconciliation of GMPs now?

With the end of contracting out looming large for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes, and HMRC changes that will make it more difficult to query contracted out liabilities after April 2018, this is an issue facing many DB schemes.

This PSIT briefing note looks at the approaches being taken to GMP reconciliation and considers why it is necessary at all.
