I founded Western Pension Solutions in 2015. It's a specialist consultancy, which provides strategic pensions advice to family business owners on how to manage their legacy defined benefit schemes. Our approach is based on developing strategies that are closely aligned with the needs of the business and the long-term objectives of the shareholders for either family succession or a planed exit of the business. We are headquartered in the City of London with regional offices in the North of England.
