Your Pension - Your Future 

Your Trustees


The Trustee of the Scheme is a corporate body made up of directors who have a wide range of duties and responsibilities, including organising administration and investing the Scheme’s assets, which are completely separate from the finances of the Company.  

Anything affecting the Scheme as a whole is considered by the Trustee Board, including: 

  • investment beliefs and objectives
  • valuation outcomes
  • developments in pensions legislation or regulations
  • changes to the Scheme rules, and;
  • the appointment of advisers

The Trustee operates two committees which focus on specific aspects of running the Scheme. These are:

  • Funding and Investment Committee
  • DC Committee

Here's a brief introduction to members of the Trustee Board.
