I was referred to Pension Works to look at a DB pension. Andrew Murphy was very easy to deal with, explained things very clearly and above all listened to understand my needs, objectives and concerns. Communication in any dealings to date has been first class.

Pension transfer
Paul Chester made what can be a difficult process as easy as possible. He made a clear case for both the pros and cons of transferring out of a defined benefit scheme whilst listening to and understanding my needs. He worked quickly and efficiently and was easy to reach when I needed questions answered...any easy 5/5 from me.

Transfer from Defined Benefit Pension to Money Purchase SIPP
Recommended by my independent financial advisor Pension Works did not disappoint. I was seeking expert advice on the wisdom (and my suitability) to transfer funds from a deferred defined benefit pension to a money purchase SIPP. From our first telephone conversation PW gained my confidence with their extensive knowledge of the pension sector and thoroughness of their approach. Every stage of the process was completed on a timely basis with thorough explanations and patiently answered questions. Funds have now transferred and sit in three separate investment funds within a SIPP wrapper which perfectly fits my investment risk profile. Value for money in relation to ongoing fees (SIPP wrapper and fund managers) was a key consideration which was clearly demonstrated by PW within their final recommendations. Special thanks to Alastair Milner who advised me throughout and to the excellent administration team. Nothing could have been done better.

Pension Works were recommended by a financial advisor. Paul Chester was very helpful and understanding of our position, supporting us through the complicated lengthy process. I am pleased to say the transfer was approved and would not hesitate to recommend Pension Works and particularly Paul for his patience with our endless questions.

A tale of integrity.
I obtained a CETV for my DB pension. The numbers seemed impressive and I asked Pension Works to help me.
My personal point of contact was Paul Chester, all contact with him was pleasant and productive. The quality and clarity of his lengthy report was more than I expected at the initial stage.
I was advised that I should not transfer. Pension Works had the incentive of a five figure fee to push this transfer through but they didn't take it. After all their excellent work they charged me nothing.
In summary, if you are looking for a trustworthy, professional company to explore your pension options - look no further.

Pension Works offer a fantastic service
I was put in touch with Pension Works after not having much success in moving my Defined Benefit Pension, which I considered was a relatively small pot and would not greatly make a difference if left as it was.
I was given a telephone appointment with Alastair Milner and I was very impressed with how professional he was in talking through the step by step process together with the Pro's and Con's in arranging a transfer. He explained things very well and was always at the end of the phone if I was unsure about anything.
Alastair took on board my reasons for wanting to move my DB pension which were mainly health issues and was very sympathetic as to why I was requsting the transfer.
Pension works offer a great service and explain everything in great detail and the Admin team also did a fantastic job of keeping me informed about appointments and letters that I needed to sign and return.
I would definately recommend Pension Works, Alastair and his team.
Great service. Thank you

Pension Works - Final Salary Transfer
I was put in touch with pension Works after searching for some time unsuccessfully for a firm to process a small final salary transfer. Pension Works, Andrew Murphy in particular, were absolutely professional in their endeavours to complete my transfer which was completed successfully. The admin staff working alongside Andrew were great and the supporting documentation I received was excellent. Overall the service I received relative to the amount being processed exceeded my expectations and I anticipate Pension Works will be one of my first ports of call with any further pension requirements in future. Thank You.

brilliant advise
could not be happier with pension works.Terry explained everything in plain simple english.I was going to transfer two DB pensions but he explained that with my attitude to risk was sceptical the best thing to do was to wait and review in a few years time. They could have easily taken my money but instead advised me very well to stay put . Thankyou pension works and Terry

Professional service start to finish
Professional service start to finish - the process with the employer was quite complicated with a few issues along the way but Mark and Angela at Pension works were straight onto the problems sorting them on our behalf very impressed with the service throughout

The service was good, with excellent information and advice. The process of Pension Works liaising with and getting information from my other pension provider took longer than I expected, but we met the necessary deadlines.
