"We appointed BESTrustees as sole trustee to our schemes to ensure high standards of governance and expertise in an ever more complex pensions environment. This helped us to manage the conflict of interests that can emerge during corporate restructuring and to ensure that the interests of members are fully protected."

"The appointment of BESTrustees has helped us by ensuring our scheme is well governed and properly run. In particular, they have helped us solve a number of problems with previous advisers and have always shown a commercial and pragmatic approach to our pension issues."

"Appointing BESTrustees as a sole trustee solved an issue for us in managing a legacy plan where it was important to sensitively manage a change in sponsor and administrators without causing alarm to members. Having a professional independent trustee gives us and members alike assurance."
