Our panellists use the PPF Trustmark badge
We refer to the expert advisory firms as 'panellists'. They provide specialist advice and support to schemes where the sponsoring employer is in distress or to us directly.
Our panellists use the PPF Trustmark badge. The badge shows the high-quality service they provide to members of schemes in PPF assessment and provides reassurance to members of schemes in PPF assessment.
Our panel firms are an innovation we introduced to help us maintain our high standards during key parts of the assessment process. We've been collaborating successfully for several years and have managed to transfer the vast majority of schemes within two years.
