We believe Mercer is best placed to help us move through the next part of our journey for these schemes. The Mercer team and the deep resources that it brings, gives us the skills and expertise that we require. Key to their appointment was recognising their flexible and collaborative approach to help us design and implement our specific journey. ”

 Dan Melley, Partner and Head of UK Investments, Mercer said: “We are extremely pleased to be working with the Trustees and I am confident that our focus on building unique solutions for each and every client will deliver their requirements.
