As a Fund we are committed to "Growing Our Own", National Employee Appreciation Day provides a fantastic opportunity for us to celebrate our teams' accomplishments and successes!

Our teams are committed to our vision of delivering an outstanding service to our c180 scheme employers and c85,000 members. 

Last year we were thrilled to celebrate so many of our teams achievements including Professional Qualifications, Industry Awards, and our very first Wiltshire Pension Fund Staff Awards, celebrating individuals who have exceeded expectations, served as role models for their teams, and consistently demonstrated our Fund values day to day.
