“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. ”

The reality is that the role of secretary to a trust-based pension scheme is the equivalent of a company secretary, and comes with similar diverse legal and compliance requirements.

Many employers are not aware of just how vital the role of secretary to the trustees of their pension scheme is. Our white paper explains the many benefits of this crucial role - one that is often misunderstood.
