Throughout my career, I have worked on numerous contracts, and I can confidently say that negotiating our service contract with Trafalgar House was a seamless and hassle-free experience. The team at Trafalgar House demonstrated a highly pragmatic and sensible approach to our contract negotiations, which not only helped us reach an agreement promptly but also paved the way for what we expect to be a productive and mutually beneficial relationship. Steven O'Brien
Trustee Director, Janus Henderson Group UK Pension Scheme
For many years our members and Trustees have benefited from the quality and care delivered from our own in-house team. In selecting and working with Trafalgar House, we have taken great care to ensure our values and standards are upheld and that the investment we have made in our people and systems are preserved. Jo Udall
Senior Pensions Manager at Siemens UK
Having a solid platform to continue the same care that the in-house team provided in dealing with members was important. At the same time, it was important to have a strong foundation to enhance the member experience going forward through the use of technology. After an extensive selection process, the Trustees felt that Trafalgar House had the right values and approach Dinesh Visavadia
Trustee Director for the Action for Children Pension Fund
Whenever you look for a new provider, you are always hoping to find a long-term partner that will genuinely share your values – and that is exactly what we found in Trafalgar House.
