Recognising our innovative approach to supporting the needs of our clients, we were named 'LGPS Service Provider of the Year' at the 2025 LAPF Investment Awards


The awards celebrate outstanding achievement in Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS). Throughout 2025, we have worked to empower our clients across the sector - delivering greater efficiency and cost savings through our all-in-one actuarial system, enhancing member communications to boost pension engagement, providing schemes with access to our online training platform Enlighten, and helping funds navigate changes in the LGPS through regular events and briefings. 

We help our clients secure better futures for their members. This year, clients have told us our tools have transformed the way they work - strengthening relationships, improving accountability across their teams, and setting a new benchmark for how schemes should be supported. By partnering with BW, clients benefit from quality service, reliable delivery, and long-term consultant relationships. We focus on delivering stable and sustainable contribution rates, alongside innovative tools and insights, so that schemes can operate more efficiently and respond with confidence to the challenges they face. 

Partner and Head of Public Sector Barry McKay said: "We're absolutely delighted to have been recognised as LGPS Service Provider of the Year - this award reflects our commitment to innovation and client-focused service delivery across the LGPS sector. I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our exceptional team, whose expertise and dedication have been instrumental in achieving this recognition and consistently delivering outstanding outcomes for our clients."

"Our success is built on genuine partnerships with our clients, providing them with cutting-edge tools like our all-in-one actuarial system and Enlighten training platform, whilst delivering the reliable, long-term support that LGPS funds need to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment."
