Governance and Trustee Directors

The Trustee Directors are expected to act in good faith and in the best interests of the Scheme members and beneficiaries.

The fundamental duty of the Trustee Directors is to give effect to the provisions of the Trust Deed and Rules. These documents govern the Trustee Directors actions. The Trust Deed defines the powers and duties of the Trustee. The Rules state who is eligible to be a member and details the contributions and benefits promised.

Other Trustee duties are many and varied, and include;

  • Invest the pension scheme assets for the benefit of the members,
  • Paying out the right benefits at the right time,
  • Keeping accurate records,
  • Keeping proper accounts, and
  • Appoint professional advisers and investment managers

Please note the assets of the Scheme are held completely separate from those of the Company.

The names of the Trustee Directors are published in the Trustee’s Annual Report and Accounts and are also listed here.
