Pat Wynne, Director, Entegria, said:

ìManaging pension deficit is one of the greatest challenges companies face currently. The commercial and accounting implications for companies are extremely important. To date, many solutions have focused solely on managing scheme assets, with little thought given to how to reduce liabilities.

ìThese workshops take a holistic approach, using the latest thinking on asset management and pre-emptive action to reduce liabilities while safeguarding the rights and expectations of members.î
