Find out more about our professional trustee services and how they can benefit you.
What Are Professional Trustee Services?
Professional trustee services involve an individual or organisation working with a pension scheme’s trustee board. This individual should be experienced, qualified and often independent. A professional trustee offers a range of knowledge and understanding about scheme governance, funding strategy, legal obligations, and risk management. This allows them to support the scheme through its lifecycle from active management to de-risking and eventual wind-up.
Through professional trustee services, the scheme can mitigate any risks, navigate through any regulatory challenges, and confidently deliver positive outcomes for all stakeholders. So, whether acting as a co-trustee, sole trustee, or chair, a professional trustee adds credibility, competence, and accountability.

We ensure that boards have the right operational structures and strategic frameworks in place to meet The Pensions Regulator’s expectations and deliver effective long-term outcomes for members.
Our experienced professionals offer Chair of Trustee services to lead boards with confidence, clarity, and integrity. As Chair, we provide effective meeting leadership, coordinate governance activity, and ensure trustees remain aligned with regulatory responsibilities and strategic objectives.

We support schemes in planning and executing their endgame strategies, including buy-in/buyout transactions, superfund entry, and insurance solutions.
