Most Effective Ongoing Communications
Winner: The Pensions Trust
The Pensions Trust has seen off strong competition to win the ‘Most Effective Ongoing Communications’ award at this year’s Pensions Management Awards. These awards for occupational schemes seek to recognise excellence within UK pension schemes.
The award was presented to the Trust in recognition of its commitment to continually adapting, enhancing and improving communications to employers and employees. A key aspect of this was the development of an interactive DVD for ‘Your Pension Made Easy’, a pack to help employers motivate employees to join their occupational pension scheme. The Trust was also recognised for improvements to its sales material and advertising as well as many new developments such as a product literature re-branding and a new quarterly bulletin for Growth Plan clients.
Commenting on the win, Stephen Nichols, Chief Executive at The Pensions Trust said, ‘Communications is a vital part of our business and it is essential that it is tailored to match the needs of individual employers and employees. We undertake extensive research which enables us to create bespoke communications materials which we are very proud of. This award is in recognition of the hard work of the Teams at the Trust.’
The ceremony, attended by professionals in the pensions and investment industry, was held on Friday 19 October at The Brewery in London. The awards were judged by a select panel of pensions specialists, which included Padraig Floyd, editor of Pensions Management and were presented by the BBC's former chief political correspondent, John Sergeant.
