The growth and development of the Technology and Administration Solutions business means we are able to offer strong career paths for associates as we continue to expand. We will continue to reinforce our positioning of TAS as a quality administration provider with a focus on the end user experience and empathy to our clients’ service requirements.
“Looking at the immediate future, we need to harness our experience and technology to expand and continuously improve our online tools and contact points to ensure we provide employees and scheme members with the best possible individual service experience. The prospect of expanding the reach of our web services in particular is an exciting challenge and one which will ultimately be beneficial to our clients and the memberships of many of the largest pension schemes in the UK.”
