- “The group has been in discussion with the Pension Trustees and its advisers exploring the option to buy-out its defined benefit pension scheme to an insurer. Since the year end date, it has been confirmed that the funding position of the scheme is sufficient to commence this process. Consequently, the company and the Pension Trustees have agreed to begin the initial stage by inviting quotes from interested insurance companies.”
