We were delighted to welcome @TorstenBell MP, Minister for Pensions, to our headquarters at the Royal Liver Building.
The Minister was hosted by Group CEO Carol Young and our Chair, Dame Kate Barker, during what was his first visit to USS since taking on his new brief.

Pleasure to visit @USSpensions (the UK’s biggest private sector pension scheme) in a ludicrously lovely Liverpool today. Only total cynics think it’s not always like this in Merseyside

It was a valuable opportunity to showcase the work we do to support our members and share insights on the policy issues that matter most to us. Torsten also met members of our award-winning Pensions Operations team.
