Section 27 Notice
Trustee of the Barratt Group Pension & Life Assurance Scheme, incorporating The Wilson Bowden Group Directors’ Pension Scheme.
The Trustee of the Barratt Group Pension & Life Assurance Scheme (the Scheme) hereby gives notice under section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925 that the Scheme has commenced winding up and will soon be terminating. This is a natural stage in the closing down of the Scheme following on from the Trustee successfully securing known Defined Benefit pensions through an insurance company and the planned transfer of known Defined Contribution benefits to a Master Trust.
As one of the final stages in the closure process, the Trustee of the Scheme wishes to trace all former members and their beneficiaries who are entitled to benefits under the Scheme and any persons who were employed by Barratt Developments PLC (formerly Barratt Developments Limited) or any current or former group company employees who were members of the Scheme but have not been informed of the wind-up.
The Trustee is checking for any missing members or any person that has transferred out of the Scheme and who believes that they have a claim that they wish to make in respect of a Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP).
Anyone who thinks they have been missed, i.e., believes that he or she is a member or a beneficiary of the Scheme or wishes to make a claim in respect of a GMP but has not already been contacted by the Trustee about the winding-up, or anyone who believes they have any other interest, claim or entitlement in relation to the Scheme but has not already been contacted by the Trustee about the winding-up, should write and provide details of their membership, interest, claim or entitlement to the Trustee of the Scheme c/o Sarah Dyson, Barratt House, Cartwright Way, Bardon Hill, Leicester, LE67 1UF or by email to [email protected] within two months of the date of publication of this advertisement (14 October).
A list of all former employers involved with the Scheme and the Scheme’s previous names can be found here.
After the expiry of the two-month period the Scheme shall be wound up (effectively meaning it will cease to exist) and the Trustee of the Scheme will have regard only to claims of which they have prior written notice and will not be liable in respect of any person whose claim has not been notified to them in writing within two months of the date of publication of this notice.
Issued on behalf of the Trustee of the Barratt Group Pension & Life Assurance Scheme.
