The board is all-female and chaired by Kim Nash, professional trustee and managing director of ZEDRA Governance.

She acts as an independent trustee for defined benefit (DB), DC and hybrid schemes. 

Nash has also chaired several DC master trust boards and supported them through the authorisation process.

For more than 13 years, Hatcher worked at HSBC and was CEO of HSBC Retirement Services Limited. 

She developed and implemented their digital wealth platform strategy and took their master trust through authorisation. 

The CDC trustee board will meet at TPT’s Leeds head office on 3rd to 4th November 2025. 

TPT declared plans to enter the multi-employer CDC pensions market in May 2025 and remains the only provider to announce such a move.

The scheme is being designed with plans to apply for authorisation in 2026. 

The CDC scheme will add to TPT’s range of pension scheme options.

Nash said: “I’m thrilled to join the board of the UK’s first multi-employer CDC scheme, working with fellow boards members and TPT to complete authorisation and helping to pioneer a new model for secure, sustainable pensions. 

“This is an important step forward for members and for the future of retirement provision in the UK.”

David Lane, CEO at TPT Retirement Solutions, said: “We’re delighted to welcome our three new trustees to the board of the UK’s first multi-employer CDC scheme.
