PASA chairman Margaret Snowdon said: “This is a significant milestone to putting in place the framework that we expect to become the benchmark for high-quality pensions administration. This was one of our key activities for completion this year.”
Baker Tilly head of pensions Ian Bell said the appointment would enable the firm to become part of the movement to improve the standards across the industry.
He added: “It is important that administration gains focus and attention as it affects all areas of the industry.”
