Family Business United is delighted to have Western Pension Solutions (‘WPS’) as national partners of Family Business United.
WPS is a specialist pension consultancy that provides strategic advice to family businesses for managing their legacy defined benefit pension schemes.
Following their success in managing the Vestey pension scheme, they were founded by Ben Fowler and the Vestey family with the clear purpose of helping other families solve their pension issues in ways that are fully aligned with their objectives as business owners.
As Ben explains, “We understand the importance of the family taking the lead in setting strategy to make sure it fits with their culture and values, whilst also balancing the interests of a broad range of family and non-family stakeholders.”
“All our client relationships are led by people experienced in understanding how the complex dynamics of family, business and ownership translate into an effective pension strategy.”
“Our business is built on working with family businesses throughout the UK on managing their legacy defined benefit pensions schemes so if we can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch for a chat.”
