Punter Southall has joined PensionChair as its actuarial and administration technical partner.

PensionChair, a network made up of chairs of some of the largest workplace pension schemes in the UK, stages 20 meetings a year to give its members the opportunity to explore concerns and challenges facing schemes.

Its membership is drawn from more than 100 different pension schemes, including Aviva, BP, Credit Suisse, ITV and the Pensions Trust.

Joanne Livingstone, technical director at Punter Southall (pictured), said: “We strive to think more deeply about the issues facing trustees and a partnership approach is key to this.

“We’re delighted that we can pool our technical knowledge with PensionChair in a way that will forge positive relationships and enhance understanding of this specialised field for members and the people they represent.”
