Client feedback

“These days, Boards need real expertise on tap (with excellent back-up) to cope with a constantly evolving and more regulated environment. PSGS is geared to delivering that.”
Ray Pygott,
Partner at KPMG LLP
“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. ”
Dave Benstead ,
Diodes Zetex
“The service runs very smoothly, might have expected a few more difficulties transitioning to a professional trustee.”
“We chose PSGS because of the experience of the team and the feel of the relationship seemed the right fit.”
Paul Staniland,
Chair of Governance Committee, Kier Group Pension Trustees
“The trustee training course covered a wide variety of subjects which gives a good basis for future discussion and decision making during trustee meetings.”
Jean-Paul Gobel,
Heerema
“Excellent service - as expected and why PSGS was chosen.”
Stuart Barker ,
Independent Occupational Pensions Consultant, RSPCA
