Testimonials

Muse supported us with our transition between administrators. Muse challenged both the incoming and incumbent administrator and made sure we asked the right questions and had robust governance around the transition. They provided significant input into our contract negotiations, ensuring that we benefited from their experience of the market. The acceptance criteria that they developed collaboratively with all stakeholders helped ensure we could hold the administrator to account for delivery. Muse are a great team to work with, and they helped us establish a solid foundation for a strong relationship with our administration partner.
Head of Staff Pensions Management, Prudential Staff Pension Scheme
Muse helped us review the Trustee’s approach to managing risk, introducing and documenting a new risk management framework, which set out the Scheme’s risk governance and processes, dovetailing with operational risk management practices. Rosanne worked with me to facilitate workshops for the Trustee Board to agree its strategic objectives, risk appetite and key risks. Together we developed a reporting dashboard for the board, showing risk trends, incident reporting, project risk tracking and horizon scanning of emerging risks. She also worked closely with the Operational Risk Manager to embed good risk management practices within the in-house Trustee Executive team. In parallel, Rosanne worked with the Trustee’s Governance Committee to embed a new internal audit work partner and agree the internal audit workplan. Rosanne brought insights and expertise into risk management practices with other large pension schemes and brought risk alive for our scheme so that we understood its value. The trust she built enabled us to tackle complex issues, whilst developing simple and effective solutions for the Trustee Board.
Head of Legal and Compliance of Trustee Executive Limited, National Grid - Trustee Executive Limited
Muse carried out an effectiveness review for both of our scheme trustee boards and ran a joint board workshop on the findings and helped our trustees agree actions. An external review and the workshop were ‘firsts’ for us, we wanted to get it right. We chose Muse because of their experience and independence. Their team were very skilled in helping our trustees take stock and reflect, challenging us to think about future effectiveness and bringing wider knowledge of trustee practice and corporate governance. Muse really delivered well on the work.
