Arcadia Group

Arcadia's two defined benefit (DB) pension schemes have been offered an extra £185m of security over property by Sir Philip Green in the event that it is needed in the future.

This week's top stories included The Pensions Regulator criticising Sir Philip Green's latest plans for the Arcadia pension schemes.

Mothercare's two schemes gained £1.6m after a pension increase exchange (PIE) exercise, one year after a company voluntary agreement (CVA) stopped the schemes entering the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

Sir Philip Green's restructuring proposals for his retail giant Arcadia will not "adequately protect" its pension schemes' members, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has said.

The Work and Pensions Committee (WPC) has criticised Arcadia's proposals to halve the deficit recovery contributions of its pension schemes as part of a company restructure.

The story of BHS is one of both outrage and happy endings. James Phillips speaks to trustee chairman Chris Martin and his advisers about the scheme's endgame journey

Sir Philip Green has urged Frank Field to "avoid another public spat" as the two heavyweights locked heads over any potential sale of high street conglomerate Arcadia.

Frank Field is to warn Sir Philip Green not to sell his Arcadia business without ensuring defined benefit (DB) pensions are adequately protected, PP can confirm.

The Pension Protection Fund's (PPF) decision to appoint an administrator for British Home Stores (BHS) independent of Sir Philip Green has been "vindicated" says Frank Field.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has begun formal enforcement action against a number of key protagonists and companies involved in the British Home Stores (BHS) saga.
