Client feedback

“Ann and her team are very knowledgeable and proactive, liaise well with our other advisers and provide the Trustees with an invaluable secretarial service.”
Ian Edwards,
Chair of Trustees, Comet
“Where PSGS are appointed to act in conjunction with an existing body of trustees, we have found that they are quickly able to fit in well and gain the trust and respect of their co-trustees. ”
Duncan Buchanan,
Partner at Hogan Lovells
“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
“It’s a pleasure working with key members of the PSGS team: their experience and leadership means that they know how to get the job done, working in partnership with fellow trustees, employers and advisers to achieve the best result for members.”
Mark Smith,
Partner at Taylor Wessing
“The Trustee training was very interactive and the presenters were engaging - thank you.”
Nick Marsh,

Role

Kathy co-ordinates all day-today activities for a range of trustee secretary appointments and supports our team of independent trustees.

Background & experience

Kathy began her career in 1984 in pension scheme administration working for British Shipbuilders in-house pensions department. She moved to Aon Hewitt where she held a number of senior roles, most latterly encompassing financial and operational responsibility for three administration teams.

Kathy’s joined us in 2013 and her role covers all aspects of managing defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) pension schemes. Working as part of the wider pension secretariat team, she supports our trustee secretaries on large appointments.

Kathy played a key role in implementing our assurance reporting framework to achieve AAF 02/07 accreditation.

As well as surviving 30 years in pensions, Kathy also made it to the end of a zip line through a rain forest despite her fear of heights!
