Paul Cuff, co-CEO of XPS Pensions Group, said: “This acquisition is consistent with our strategic focus on becoming the pre-eminent pensions consultancy in the UK and improves our capability and offerings to smaller pension schemes. We see this as particularly important, given the increasing need for smaller pension schemes to have access to high quality advice and technology enabled solutions in a cost-effective way. We welcome our new clients and our new colleagues to our business.”
Isobel Langton, CEO Intermediary at Royal London, said about the transaction: “We are very pleased to have reached agreement with XPS. It has been paramount for us in this process to find a partner who can provide a fantastic service to RLCPS’s clients both now and into the future as the regulatory challenges these clients face will only increase.

At the same time, we feel that XPS, with its strong employee culture, is a fantastic home for transferring employees.” |
