C & A pension

Hi

Am hoping someone can mabe give me some advice.

I have come across a certificate of membership for a pension scheme for C & A when I was employed with them over 14 years ago.

The pension is through Orbis Pension Trustees, 64 North Row, London, W1a 2ax. tel 071-629 1244. have tried the phone no - not recognised, have googled Orbis, cant find anything to do with pensions.

Just want to let them know my new address, and have an up to date forecast, (only a tiny pension).

Do any of you clever people have any ideas how i could contact them?

If all else fails, I will just write to the address above and hope they are still there.

Thanks.

    Last heard of being dealt with by the Pru (about 2003).

    If no luck there, try

  • Thank you RichandJ, very helpful, will ring them tommorrow.
  • Did you have any luck? I am also trying to trace my C&A pension. I only worked there for a few years but I don't like the thought of there being any money out there in my name that I am not claiming!
    Thanks, Joanne

    These shops are still to be found in Europe. It withdrew from the UK around 2000 I believe.

    Don't mock C & A: I bought a rather fine cord jacket from them once.
    Free the dunston one next time too.

    I used to work for C & A Modes as it used to be called , I loved their stores there really isn't anything like it in the High Street nowadays.. I wonder if I have a pension from those days.... I only worked there for around 4 yrs so I guess it would be trivial..

    As mentioned above, a deal was done in 2003 with Prudential who bought out the liabilities and took on the administration, according to an old trade news item -

    You might try calling the Pru. Good luck.
