The UK pension funds of the Germany-based speciality chemicals company have combined assets of around £450 million and over 6,000 members, spread across four schemes.

Graham Withers, chair of Evonik Pension Scheme Trustee Limited, commented: "Aon Hewitt was already well regarded by the trustees from their work on one of the schemes and they convinced us that their team had the resources and skills to cope with all four scheme appointments. Early indications are that the relationship works very well."

Paul Crocker, principal and actuary at Aon Hewitt, added: "We are very proud to be appointed to provide actuarial advice to all four of Evonik's UK pension schemes. We had worked previously with one of the Evonik schemes, so our appointment across the other three is a genuine endorsement of the quality of service Aon Hewitt has provided to date. We look forward to continuing our work with Evonik Pension Scheme Trustee Limited."
