Pensions can be difficult, but we believe clear communication always helps. Our people are open and approachable.

Here at First Actuarial, we understand the technicalities of pension schemes, and can express complex ideas in simple, plain English. We employ consultants and advisers who are open and approachable, and we’re available whenever you need us.

Very happy to have such a helpful knowledgeable team who are able to explain things to us mere mortals in plain English. Our administration is well managed and under control.

- Naomi Connell, Volker Wessels UK

First Actuarial Case Studies

Hachette UK

Hachette UK, one of the UK’s largest publishing groups, turned to First Actuarial to help improve staff engagement with pensions.

“One of the things I like about First Actuarial is that they’re very responsive. You never have to chase them for anything. They’re pragmatic and cost-effective.”

RSPB

The RSPB was determined to minimise the impact of its new defined contribution scheme on employees, and appointed First Actuarial to support the transition and select a provider with strong ethical values.

“I would definitely recommend working with First Actuarial. Their consultants went over and above the call of duty to make sure the project progressed smoothly.”

“They’ve been really helpful and professional throughout the project, and we’ll use them again if we need specialist advice.”
