Pensions Rocks is back!

Following the successful inaugural battle of the bands for pensions professionals, Pensions Management is pleased to announce the sequel: Pensions Rocks II!

Entry Forms are now available for bands to enter this prestigious event, to be held at the 100 Club, Oxford St, London on February 2, 2011. It's first come, first served, so make sure you return the forms as soon as you can.

For the rules and entry form, see the bottom of the page.

Why should you take part? Pensions Rocks is a one of a kind event for the pensions industry, allowing actuaries, lawyers, accountants, investment experts, consultants and trustees to fulfil their wildest rock fantasies in one of London's most historic venues. And it's all for charity. Each band arrives representing their own chosen charity, and the winning band takes home the lion's share of the money raised on the night, through ticket sales, band entry fees and a raffle on the night.

May's event raised over £7,500 and saw F&C Investments' Pink Torpedo crowned as champions of the inaugural Pensions Rocks!.
Pink Torpedo, consisted of Carl Yearwood, James Rixon, Simon Cordery and Paul Grice.

Independent consultant Ros Altmann acted as compere for the evening and said she was blown away by the truly exceptional musical talent.

"Everyone seemed to get into the spirit of the evening and had a great time, listening to talented musicians and raising money for good causes," she said.

"The talent among pensions professionals was amazing, perhaps this keeps us all young; it may even add to the longevity problems but who cares?"

Pink Torpedo’s charity was the Backup Trust, which provides assistance, activities and advice for people who have suffered a spinal injury and their families. The charity received £4,500, with the remainder of the money raised split between the other bands' charities.
