Client feedback

“I learnt more than I expected to at the trustee training course. A good introduction to the trustee role.”

Rob Hartley,

RSPCA

“I wanted to look at the effectiveness of our trustee board, so Gillian, our PSGS scheme secretary, provided their trustee self-assessment tool to help me gather thoughts and opinions from others on the board. The tool was extremely easy to use and asked all the right questions to help me collect the information I needed as Trustee Chair. It is a great example of the way PSGS shares knowledge with their clients and makes dealing with key governance issues easy. As well as enabling me to meet one of the Regulator’s 21st century trusteeship requirements, using the tool has flagged trustee training needs and ways we could improve trustee meetings further. ”

Claire Silvester,

Vector Aerospace

“Great communication and practical help.”

“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

“So much more proactive than the previous company. On the ball - thinking in advance of things needing doing - very proactive.”

Paul Rudd ,

Chairman of Trustees, Express Newspaper

“Fiona brings perspective from other schemes and therefore a wider knowledge.”
