Why choose Gallagher to support your pension scheme governance and secretarial needs

Governance lies at the very heart of everything we do, and we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach won't suffice. We empathise with the challenges trustees face in terms of governance: evolving requirements, time constraints, the desire to improve diversity and inclusion, lack of engagement, and the need to achieve better results.

We don't just instruct our trustees to implement new processes; we explain the reasons behind them, working in partnership with trustees to achieve their strategic objectives. We outline the benefits, such as streamlined and efficient trustee meetings, time and cost savings, and reduced risk.
