Tracing an old pension scheme

tarbat

Just looking for any advice on tracing an old pension scheme. I worked for a company, Zeda Computer Systems, back in the 80's. The company pension scheme name was ZEDA HOLDINGS LIMITED PENSION PLAN.

I used the Government pension tracing service, and got an email telling me to contact Zurich at The Zurich Centre in Hampshire. But having gone around multiple departments at Zurich, they deny any knowledge of the Zeda pension plan. The company Zeda went bust in 2007.

So, any ideas how I can trace the current administrators for the pension plan?

Was it a DB Scheme?

Were you given a statement of benefits when you left?

Though there's nothing active on Companies House, LEI Lookup suggests that there's still (or was until very recently) an active company called "ZEDA HOLDINGS LIMITED DIRECTORS PENSION PLAN" at

ANCASTER HOUSE
EMPINGHAM
LE15 8PR

with headquarters at

THE OLD HALL
ASHWELL
LE15 7LJ

The LEI is 213800WP5X6DPP12BB43 which can be verified via Bloomberg's Legal Entity Identifier search site. (I'm guessing as I'm a new user I can't post links yet, but you can find the LEI Lookup via a search engine).

Might be worth writing to those addresses in the first instance? The Ashwell address appears to be residential, but Companies House lists it as the address for someone called John Roger Mills, who's director of 22 companies which seem (from their names) to be financial in nature. If I were you, I'd address a letter to him personally at the address above.

ETA: Just thought to check the CH dissolved register. ZEDA HOLDINGS LTD.
Company No. 03466110, HQ'd at the address above, was formally dissolved in 2011. The administrators were as follows:
