Wolseley Group Retirement Benefits Plan

Welcome to the Wolseley Group Retirement Benefits Plan website

This site has been designed to give members access to information about their pension scheme.
It provides a guide to the benefits offered, not a complete description of all specific benefits available. Your scheme’s Trust Deed and Rules may change from time to time and these override this website where there are discrepancies between them.

The Wolseley Group Retirement Benefits Plan (“the Plan”) was established on the April 1962. It closed to new joiners in June 2009 and future accrual in December 2013.

New joiners after June 2009 joined the Wolseley Group Defined Contribution Plan (“DC Plan”) and when the Plan ceased future accrual in December 2013 all the active members were invited to join the DC Plan. The Wolseley Group Defined Contribution Plan wound up on the 26 February 2025.  Before this all members who had benefits in the Plan were transferred to the Aon MasterTrust in December 2023. 
Their contact details are:  www.theaonmastertrust.co.uk / 03456 461 922 / admin@theaonmt.co.uk

On 1 January 2024, Aptia purchased Mercer’s UK pension administration services, including the administration services Mercer previously provided for the Wolseley Group Retirement Benefits Plan. Please be assured that there has not been a change to the service you receive or your pension benefits. There is a link to the portal on the useful links page of the website.
