Pension Scheme Administrators

Kingfisher Pensions Department

The Trustees have appointed Kingfisher Pensions Department to carry out the day to day running of both the Pension Scheme and the Retirement Trust, and the Pensions Department are pleased to answer general queries about the Scheme or the Trust. However, if any of the personal details shown on your Benefit Statement are incorrect, you should inform your usual HR or payroll contact, and they will automatically pass the information to the Pensions Department.

The Kingfisher Pensions Department consists of four teams – Administration, Finance, Systems and Technical. If you need to contact the Pensions Department, usually your enquiry will be dealt with by a member of the Administration team.

Standard Life

The Trustees have also appointed Standard Life to administer the Money Purchase Section of the Scheme. At Standard Life, there’s a special team dedicated to Kingfisher, who will work in conjunction with the Kingfisher Pensions Department.


Customer service

The Kingfisher Pensions Department liaises on a daily basis with the Standard Life administration team to ensure that a co-ordinated service is provided, especially important where members have benefits in both the Final Salary and Money Purchase Sections of the Scheme.

Both Kingfisher and Standard Life will ensure that your queries are dealt with in an efficient and timely manner. Sometimes, an issue requires further information from an external provider, and if this is the case, the Kingfisher Pensions Team will liaise with that party in order to assist your enquiry.

 

Contacting the Pensions Teams

When you write to either the Kingfisher Pensions Department or Standard Life, please remember to tell us:

  • Your full name, company and current home address
  • Your National Insurance number
  • If you’re a member of the Final Salary Section, your employee or membership number (and if you have more than one period of membership, you will need to tell us all your membership numbers)
  • If you’re a member of the Money Purchase Section, your Standard Life membership number as well.

You should contact your HR or payroll department if you receive any documents (like your Benefit Statement) from us that show the wrong salary details. They will let us know about any changes to be made to our records.

However, if we haven’t got your right date of birth or if your name has changed on marriage, you will need to contact us (as well as your HR or payroll department) and send a copy of the birth or marriage certificate – we always use special delivery to return original certificates.
