Zurich International has created a pensions team to support all of its new Isle of Man pension clients.

There are seven team members – Tamsin Armour, Lisa Astin, Margaret Caley, Lucy Canipa, Martin Malone, Bernie May, and Yasmine Quayle – who have more than 85 years of combined experience which covers international and domestic pensions and financial services.

The pensions team has been created to support the Zurich International Personal Pension Scheme that was launched last summer.

The scheme offers a range of employee benefit ‘solutions’ tailored for the Isle of Man market.

Nigel Simpson, commercial director at Zurich International, said: ‘All of the pensions team are multi-skilled and have a vast amount of knowledge including trustee oversight and regulatory responsibilities, and scheme administration for both Isle of Man domestic pensions and international retirement savings.

‘They’re passionate about providing excellent customer service and customer relationship management.’

Zurich International’s employee benefit ‘solutions’ are available through all independent financial advisers in the Isle of Man.

The pensions team are not permitted to provide financial advice.

Zurich, a global life insurer, has been operating in the Isle of Man since 1982.

It now employs around 300 staff at award-winning new headquarters at Isle of Man Business Park, as reported previously in Business News.

Zurich has 86,000 employees, with £3.45 billion in funds under management.
