The SHPS (Social Housing Pension Scheme) Employer Committee (EC) is nominated by SHPS employers to act as their representative for consultation with the Trustee. EC responsibilities cover four main areas of activity: scheme funding, investment strategy, scheme stewardship and scheme benefits.
The EC meets at least four times a year, however in the lead up to a valuation date and in the subsequent year the EC may meet as often as monthly to make sure that the valuation consultation process with the SHPS Scheme Committee can progress as swiftly as possible.
From 1 October 2026, the EC members, nominated by SHPS employers, are:
- Angharad Mahoney L&Q
- Barry Allan Bield Housing & Care
- Brian Pickett Cardiff Community Housing Association
- Gary Booth Citizen Housing Group
- Heather Grimes Stonewater
- Iain Herdman Karbon Homes
- Irfan Umarji NHF
- John Riley GIPSIL (Chair)
- Krystopher McQueen Amplius Living
- Martyn Hencher Pioneer Group
- Steven Brook Harrogate Housing Association
- Steven Dean Falcon Rural Housing
- Thomas Edwards Plymouth Community Homes
The SHPS Client Relations Manager and Committee Secretary from TPT attend EC meetings. Representatives from TPT’s Trustee Services, Covenant and Investment teams or Executive Board may also attend depending on the topics to be discussed.
