HR Trusteesí Graham Withers has been appointed Chairman of the Pensions Committee

HR Trustees is one of the largest and most experienced suppliers of pension trustee services in the UK.

Graham Withers is a solicitor with over 25 years of experience in working on legal matters in the pensions industry and has, for more than 17 years, acted as a professional trustee. Grahamís trusteeships encompass a wide variety of schemes ranging from small money purchase to large defined benefit schemes.

Graham Withers, Director, HR Trustees said:

ìThis is an exciting time for independent trustees, who are being appointed by a growing number of schemes. The new regime under the Pensions Act and the Pensions Regulator has significantly increased the burden and pressure on lay trustees. TACT, along with other industry bodies, has a duty to help minimise the negative effects of more intensive regulation, without losing the benefits of increased security for members.î

Steven Ross, Managing Director of HR Trustees said:

ìGrahamís appointment reflects his excellent track record built over 20 years in the industry. His appointment to such a prestigious role reflects the high esteem in which he is held. î
