The Hanson No 2 Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”) was established by an interim Trust Deed dated 1 October 1969 and is governed by a consolidated definitive Trust Deed and Rules dated 1 July 2004 (as amended). The Scheme is sponsored by Hanson Building Materials Limited (Company number 00488067) and is currently administered by Capita.

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925 that the Trustee is winding up the Scheme following a merger of the Scheme with the Hanson Industrial Pension Scheme. The Trustee sent a letter dated 28 October 2024 to this effect to all known beneficiaries of the Scheme (for whom we hold contact details) as part of this merger. This notice is, therefore, published for completion before the trust of the Scheme is wound up.

Any creditor, member or beneficiary of the Scheme or any other person who believes they have a claim against, or entitlement to a pension or any benefit from, or an interest in the Scheme is requested to write to the Scheme’s Administrator, Capita:

c/o Hanson Pensions Team - Capita

PO Box 555

Stead House

Darlington

DL1 9YT

To make a claim, Claimants should provide their full name, address, date of birth, NI number and, if applicable, dates of employment. If any other person believes they have a claim against or an interest in the Scheme, they are requested to write to the same address setting out full particulars of their claim. Please quote the Scheme name in all correspondence.

All claims must be received within two months of the date of this publication i.e. no later than 30 April 2025. After this date, the Trustee will proceed to complete the wind-up of the Scheme and secure benefits for any remaining beneficiaries, having regard only to the claims and interests of which they have prior notice. The Trustee shall not be liable to any other person.

Any individuals who have already been contacted on behalf of the Trustees about this matter should not respond to this notice as the Trustees already have details of their claims and entitlements.
