Sacker & Partners LLP, today, 16 June 2011, announces the launch of “Sackers Support Services”, a new business offering project management, scheme secretarial and governance support to companies and trustees of pension schemes.
Sackers Support Services will provide a range of flexible services to help pensions professionals meet their responsibilities in three key areas:
• assistance with managing projects such as benefit design reviews, scheme mergers or liability management exercises;
• the provision of secretarial services to coordinate and assist in the running of scheme business; and
• the provision of support to ensure best practice is achieved through strong scheme governance.
A team of consultants, each a senior professional with substantial pensions experience and a successful track record of working with Sacker & Partners LLP, will carry out the work. The consultants have backgrounds in a variety of roles, such as pensions management, scheme secretarial, accountancy and pensions law. Consultants will not provide legal advice.
Sackers Support Services Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sacker & Partners LLP, the UK’s leading specialist pensions law firm.
Peter Docking, Managing Director, Sackers Support Services comments: “We are seeing a growing need in the pensions world for support in three areas: project management, scheme secretarial support and governance services. Sackers Support Services has been launched in response to demand from schemes for additional non-legal services and will help pensions professionals – both trustees and employers – deal with the challenges presented by an increasingly pressurised pensions environment.
“Sackers Support Services consultants are a team of highly skilled professionals. All are dedicated individuals with significant experience of working in the pensions industry. This valuable, practical knowledge, backed up by the quality and expertise associated with the Sackers brand, will ensure that we are well positioned to provide support in many areas.”
