Brightwell is pleased to confirm its continued accreditation by the Pensions Administration Standards Association (PASA), reaffirming its commitment to delivering high-quality pensions administration for its clients.
PASA’s reaccreditation process ensures that accredited organisations maintain the rigorous standards required to support pension scheme members effectively. Brightwell’s reaccreditation reflects the stability and consistency of its in-house administration function, based in Chesterfield, which has undergone significant transformation in recent years.
Andy Whitelaw, Head of Member Services, Brightwell, commented:
“Re-accreditation by PASA is an important endorsement of the standards we continue to uphold. We’re proud to remain part of PASA’s gold standard group and are committed to maintaining the quality and professionalism our clients and their members expect.”
Brightwell first achieved PASA accreditation in 2023 following a comprehensive assessment of its member services, technology, and operational processes.
