Philips Final Salary Pension fund

Options
Hi
I am trying to find out which company administers the old Philips Final Salary Pension Fund. I've used the pension tracing service but Towers Watson and the other companies listed do not manage the Final Salary scheme.
I cannot find my paperwork from the period I worked there which was 1986-95 and am struggling to locate the pension.

Bit of a long shot but was wondering if anyone on here is receiving the same pension or has any information of who now runs the scheme so I contact them?

Thanks in advance

    I don't know if this is your pension fund, but 'The Philips UK Pension Fund' was taken over by The Pension Insurance Corp in 2015.

    Philips Pension Fund
    Pension Insurance Corp
    PO Box 434
    Westgate House
    52 Westgate
    Chichester
    West Sussex
    PO19 3ZU

    0800 0481366

    Even if they don't administer your actual pension fund, they may be able to tell you who does.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for the replies,

    I've tried this and no joy, but thanks anyway.

    Thanks

    Hmm - that's a pity.

    However, all is not yet lost. A final salary scheme back then would almost certainly have been contracted out (of SERPS/SP2). Try asking DWP if that is the case and, if it was, who now holds your GMP liability for that period.

    This could be a really long shot, but it's worth trying (the scheme information booklet is in English and was dated 2001). If you ring, you'll be 99% certain of speaking to someone who speaks English!
