Agile resources
Short on resource, knowledge or experience?
There are times where you may need extra support with pensions management or a pension scheme project. Our team can help.
Our agile resource service helps you keep managing all your complex or time-consuming pension issues in-house in a cost-effective way.
Examples of interim pensions projects we’ve worked on include:
- staff shortages due to maternity leave, long or short-term sickness or staff leaving service, where an interim can help during the search for and notice period of a new incumbent
- interim & consulting trustee appointments – eg during complex or sensitive projects such as scheme valuations & funding negotiations, investment strategy reviews or where there’s been a resignation
- strategic pension reviews – to help drive forward and execute pension strategy
- peak workloads & pension projects – eg GMP equalisation, defined contribution (DC) transfers, pension scheme consolidation or merger, M&A activity, pension buy-ins & buy-outs, pension scheme closures & winding up
- employee consultations during a proposed change to pension benefits or policy
- harmonisation of pension arrangements – eg across different DC providers or defined benefit (DB) pension schemes
- establishing a workplace DC governance committee framework

Case studies
Flexible governance support when you need it most
This case study looks at how our governance team provided a large defined benefit pension scheme with specialist governance and secretarial support during a period of internal and regulatory change.
Filling the knowledge and resource gap
Following the retirement of a longstanding pension manager and the departure of their replacement, this case study shows how we filled the knowledge and resource gap as two pension schemes attempted to wind-up.
Benefitting from outsourced pensions management
As governance requirements for this defined benefit pension scheme continued to grow, read our case study to find out how we helped them secure a bundled service arrangement and support their in-house team.
