PS Independent Trustees (PSIT) has appointed Clare Owen as Director of Outsourced Pensions, based in our Wokingham office.

Clare has over 30 years’ experience in the pensions industry and moved from Mercer where she was UK Leader for Governance and Trustee Services. She will be responsible for the trustee secretarial, pensions management and scheme governance services.

Commenting on the appointment, Wayne Phelan, PSIT’s Managing Director, said: “Regulatory pressure on all forms of pension scheme continues to grow and, with this, we have seen an increasing demand from employers and pension trustee boards for pensions expertise to help them manage their arrangements. Outsourcing roles such as scheme secretary, pensions management and governance oversight has proved to be a particularly effective and cost efficient way of accessing this expertise, and it is a growing part of our business.

Clare brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that will benefit our clients and the PSIT team as we continue to invest in and grow our business in this key area of outsourced services.”

Clare commented: “There were two very good reasons why I joined PSIT. Wayne Phelan’s commitment to the business and to investing in it was the first. The second was the opportunity to work alongside a team of experienced independent trustees, which was something new for me and which seemed a really interesting backdrop for developing outsourced services.”
