Our Solution
The OPDU Elite Policy can protect your personal assets and stand between you, the scheme and employer. It has been designed to cover you as Trustee, as well as any in house pension employees (including directors) and the scheme.
A policy from OPDU can form an effective part of a Scheme’s risk management strategy bringing together a complete risk management framework. OPDU protection stands in front of the various parties’ interests providing a quick solution as opposed to delay and expense when parties disagree or their responsibility needs to be determined.

It will cost you nothing to talk to us so please feel free to make contact.
