Running the Scheme

List of trustee directors

Our structure

The Trustee Board (the Board) consists of six Trustee Directors. Two are nominated by the members and the remaining four by Wincanton plc (the Company). Two of the Company nominated Trustee Directors are independent.

The Board meets at regular intervals throughout the year to discuss the affairs of the Scheme. It has delegated some of its powers to Sub-Committees, made up of small groups of Trustee Directors. For example, matters concerning the Scheme’s investments are delegated to the Investment Sub-Committee.
