Client feedback

“In my experience, not all professional trustees are able to cope with tricky or potentially confrontational situations. I find PSGS has massive experience in getting involved, earning the respect of others and resolving such issues. They get stuck in – they are a first rate team.”

Partner at Sackers & Partners

“Wish I'd had the opportunity to do the Trustee training course sooner! ”

“When requesting information by email, I have noticed that there is 'out of hours activity' to answer me. I regard this as a stand out 'above and beyond' - impressed.”

“Extremely personable and professional.”

Kelly White ,

“They are very proactive and full of new ideas, they've brought better scheduling and better minute sets.”

Paul Rudd,

“The trustee training course lecturers' explanations and willingness to answer questions were most valuable - even silly ones - although I have learnt there are no 'silly questions' that trustees should ask.”

New trustee training course dates added

The Pensions Regulator has said it is "determined to drive up standards of governance and administration, and the competence of those managing private sector trust-based occupational pension schemes". It has also threatened tougher enforcement against trustees who fail to meet the required standards.

Targeted education of trustees is just one of the ways the Regulator believes improved standards can be achieved.

As well as taking trustees through the basics of the Regulator's trustee knowledge and understanding (TKU) scope guidance, this course includes:

real life examples from a pension trustee's point of view
a look at topical pension scheme issues

Our trustee training course will be interactive, with plenty of practical examples and opportunities for discussion and questions.

Our TKU course is aimed primarily at new trustees of defined benefit pension schemes (or those who would like a refresher). 2017 dates can be found on our Events & training page
