The experience gained in supervisory and technical roles with insurance companies proved to be a sound preparation for his various roles within AFTS (formerly Bradstock Trustee Services Ltd), where he has been for over 17 years. As a director of AFTS, Nick has responsibility for the continuing compliance of the pension schemes for which AFTS is trustee; establishing systems and procedures to ensure that these schemes are governed effectively and efficiently; and helping to develop the relationship with the Pensions Regulator.

Often quoted and a frequent contributor to the pensions press, Nick has worked with The Pensions Regulator in connection with the highly praised on-line training facility, the Trustee Toolkit (www.TrusteeTool.com), and been involved in industry initiatives to raise the standard of pension scheme governance. Nick has a particular interest in the investment strategy and internal controls, and can bring this experience to bear in order to ensure that pension schemes meet their objectives and satisfy the highest standards of pension governance.

Tony had decided to persevere with trusteeship since taking voluntary redundancy six years ago, at the age of 57, from engineering giant GKN. He had already served as a trustee of the scheme for 15 years. Since he started as a trustee, Tony has seen the defined benefit (DB) scheme move from having no investment managers to having 17, while maturing to the point where only 20 per cent of members are active. The scheme is still open to new employees, albeit no longer in final salary form. Marc Pautz Licenses/certifications |
