Cartwright Pension Trusts has appointed Scott Wright to the role of senior pensions administrator.
Wright will be based in the Chelmsford office of the firm, which specialists in defined benefit and hybrid pension schemes.
He joins from First Actuarial and has more than seven years’ experience in the pensions industry, working across both DB and DC schemes. He previously worked for Capita and has supported a range of pension arrangements throughout his career.
In these various roles he has worked with trustees, employers and members across a variety of schemes, developing expertise in pension administration, member services and project delivery. He is currently studying for the Advanced Diploma in Retirement Provision (ADRP).
Cartwright Pension Trusts director of pensions administration Julie Yates says: “Administration is often viewed as the engine room of a pension scheme, but it is increasingly a strategic function in its own right.
“Whether schemes are focused on member experience, data quality, risk transfer, regulatory compliance or long-term planning, strong administration underpins successful outcomes [and ensures] trustees and advisers can make informed decisions with confidence.”
She adds: “Administration teams are now central not only to day-to-day operations, but also to a growing range of complex projects and strategic initiatives such as pensions dashboards preparation, GMP equalisation, data improvement exercises and endgame planning.
“Against this backdrop, and as demand for our services continues to grow, we remain committed to investing in talented people who share our focus on delivering excellent outcomes for clients and members. [Wright’s] experience across both DB and DC arrangements, combined with his strong technical knowledge and client-focused approach, makes him an excellent addition to the team.”
