PENSION CHANGES

Welcome to the information page regarding the pension changes that will be taking effect from 6 April 2006.

In recent years, pensions have been very much in the public eye, with many people calling for them to be simpler, more flexible and more secure. The Government has taken action and introduced new legislation, which aims to address these issues.

The Kingfisher Pension Scheme is one of the most important benefits offered to our employees. We have welcomed the new legislation and over the past few months the Pensions Team has been working with the Trustees and the Company to consider how this legislation will affect the Scheme and its members. Following this, we are making some changes to the Scheme, which we believe are in the best interests of members and comply fully with the new legislation.

We have produced a PDF guide for active members, deferred and pensioner members to explain some of the changes. Click on the highlighted text to download our PDF and see how the changes will affect you.

In the meantime, please contact the Pensions Department if you have any queries.
