Testimonials

Muse’s support was invaluable in making sure we were still able to drive forward our projects, Trustee agenda and actions during the absence of a key team member on maternity leave. It was a pleasure to work with the Muse team and we valued their wider market knowledge, willingness to challenge and independent viewpoint. Because we had worked with Muse before we ‘hit the ground running’ and Muse quickly became part of the team.
Pension Strategy Manager, CYBG plc
We have very much valued working with Muse in a review of our pension administration arrangements. The Muse team was incredibly helpful in helping us prepare for the review, in guiding us through the various assessment stages, and in helping us to get to the right decision for our Schemes. The documentation produced during the process, from the RfP itself, through to the reporting in support of the decision making process, has been first class. I would like to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude for all of the hard work, commitment and support. The Muse team were an absolute delight to work in partnership with, on what could potentially have been a difficult programme.
Group Head of Pensions & Benefits, DMGT
We appointed Muse to step in when our long-standing Pensions Manager announced his retirement. Their team managed to get up to speed quickly, complete an effective handover and ensure our day-to-day business continues to run, whilst at the same time helping us select, appoint and transition to a new administrator. Muse has become a key part of our team, coordinating activities across advisers. The Muse team has spotted opportunities to bring governance and market insight into the day to day management of our schemes. We feel we are in good hands and, importantly, enjoy working together.
Independent Chair of Trustees, John Laing
