Horwath Clark Whitehill (HCW) has scooped the ‘Pension Scheme Accountants of the Year’ award for the third time at the annual UK Pensions Awards, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on 10 April 2006.

The UK Pensions Awards, organised by Professional Pensions magazine, is the biggest single gathering of pensions professionals in the UK.

HCW was nominated in the category alongside PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, Baker Tilly, BDO Stoy Hayward and Grant Thornton. The judges comprised leading figures across the industry, including Robin Ellison, chairman of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) and Penny Green, president of the Pensions Management Institute (PMI). This is HCW’s third win, having won the award two years running in 2002 and 2003.

Zahir Fazal, Head of the Pensions Group, comments, “We are delighted that the judges have recognised HCW’s contribution to the sector and that we are now the only accountancy firm to have won this award three times. The Pensions Group lies at the heart of HCW’s strategic plans and winning this award demonstrates to the outside world the importance the firm places on this key business sector.’
