Whitbread

Constant government meddling has reduced confidence in pensions to a historic low according to Whitbread chief executive Andy Harrison.

Earlier this year, food and hospitality group Whitbread saw both a three- and five-year Save As You Earn (SAYE) schemes mature, benefiting more than 1,000 employees at the group's brands, which include Premier Inn, Costa, Beefeater and Brewers Fayre....

Large employers have criticised the government, pensions industry and payroll providers for the level of support available in setting up auto-enrolment (AE).

Here it is - the complete list of winners for this year's Pension Scheme of the Year Awards.

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) is preparing for the departure of two further senior figures, PP can reveal.

Opt-out rates averaged around 9% in the first six months of auto-enrolment (AE), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed.

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has revealed Robert Brown of Towers Watson will chair its defined benefit (DB) council and Lesley Williams of Whitbread will chair its defined contribution (DC) council.

Whitbread has incurred more than £1m in costs to implement auto-enrolment (AE) for its 40,000 employees.

Whitbread has increased the value of its asset-backed funding arrangement with its pension scheme to continue tackling its deficit, its latest results show.

NAPF delegates have been urged to look beyond cost when assessing whether their scheme is providing value for money.
