Printing Industry Pension Scheme (PIPS)

The PIPS plan is an industry-wide pension scheme created by the leading print trade associations (BPIF and Unite) for companies in the printing and allied trades. The scheme was established in 1986 and now has over £100 million of funds under management.

PIPS is designed for employers who are looking for a good value, flexible pension plan with a free installation option, which is well governed and provides guidance for members. PIPS has just launched a free education programme for industry employers who wish to know more about the new Pension Reforms which start in 2012 (see below).

PENSION REFORMS - the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST), formerly called Personal Accounts, and the new PENSION REGIME start in 2012. FOR MORE INFORMATION see the Auto-enrolment/NEST page, and also pension news page.
