Who runs the Plan

As well as you, there are three groups involved in the running of the Sky Pension Plan: Sky Pension Plan Trustees Limited (the Plan’s trustee company), Gallagher (formerly Buck) (the Plan’s administrator and adviser) and Sky.

The Trustee

The Plan’s Trustee is a company called Sky Pension Plan Trustees Limited that has been set up solely to act as Trustee of the Plan. Its directors (the ‘Trustee Directors’) are responsible for ensuring that the Plan meets legislative and regulatory requirements and is run in line with its Trust Deed & Rules. However, whilst the Trustee Directors designate the investment fund options available within the Plan, as a member you choose from these how your individual account is invested. The current Trustee Directors are: Rob Collie, Scott Morrison, Caroline Parker, Fiona Ross, Robert Spencer-Taylor and Eugene Chin.

The Trustee Directors are required to produce a Summary Funding Statement setting out the Plan Actuary’s most recent update on the funding position of the Sky Pension Plan. This funding statement is needed because some members of the Plan have a Guaranteed Minimum Pension underpin.
