Tracking my lost pension

Antlerukemployee

Hi All
Looking for some help. I was made redundant in 2020 due to Covid pandemic. I worked as a store manager for Antler luggage and they went into administration the same year and it looks like they came out of administration under a new name. I don't have the paperwork anymore of the workplace pension provider and I've been trying to trace which pension company my pension is with. I've tried government website and other avenues to no avail. Can anyone offer any different avenues. Thank you

You could try KPMG who dealt with the administration, however did you not have any comms / paperwork in 2020?

Antler Limited.
When they went into Administration the name changed to Antler Realisations.

Interestingly a scheme called Antler Group Pension Scheme went into the PPF but that was in 2012 so can't be anything to do with the OP.

The company has been dissolved.

The scheme was £8 million in deficit in 2009 following financial crash. 

Company was taken over by  LDC private equity shortly after.

Possible that as part of the takeover, LDC jettisoned the scheme to the PPF ( pretty much standard practice when private equity takeover ailing companies). So  quite possible the scheme you spotted held by PPF is OP's old scheme.

Yeah I found the same information regarding 2012. I started work there in 2016 and was made redundant in 2020. I may have to try and speak to KPMG who handled the administration and sale of Antler Limited in 2020.

Good luck

KPMG insolvency arm was sold to someone in Glasgow.  Do a company search on Ant Realisations and the name and contact details will be there.

What was sold in 2020 was just the business and some assets not the Company so any old pension scheme may have been left behind.  Or maybe it was just a personal pension scheme that you had?
