Covid-19 and key actions for sponsors of DB schemes

Our specialist Employer Consulting team can help you devise a well thought out and reasonable proposal to trustees for a reduction or suspension in deficit contributions (together with moving payment of running costs and levies to the scheme if appropriate).
 
We can help you to build a resilient business ready for the 'new normal' and to give assurance to all stakeholders, including trustees, regarding pension schemes and Covid-19.
