# First Actuarial LLP
First Actuarial is a Manchester-based pension and employee benefits consultancy that helps trustees and employers design and manage schemes effectively. The firm provides actuarial advice, pension administration and investment consultancy services, serving both corporate employers and pension scheme trustees seeking to balance cost, risk and member outcomes.
The business caters to organisations managing defined benefit or defined contribution schemes, from valuations and funding strategy statements to ongoing administration and member communications. They support scheme members in understanding complex pension options and help administrators navigate regulatory requirements with confidence.
What distinguishes First Actuarial is their commitment to client-centric service and challenging conventional industry thinking. Rather than applying formulaic solutions, they invest time understanding each scheme's unique circumstances and objectives. They translate complex pension regulations into clear, accessible language, reducing unnecessary complications whilst maintaining rigorous technical standards.
Their values centre on transparency and fair pricing—avoiding unnecessary complexity that inflates costs. The firm prioritises employee and member welfare, recognising that pensions ultimately improve people's financial security. This extends to supporting administrators with training on sensitive member interactions, including dementia awareness and supporting those in distress.
Since acquiring First Actuarial in December 2025, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co has positioned the firm as part of one of the UK's largest pension and employee benefits practices, expanding capability whilst maintaining their distinctive approach to client service and outcomes-driven thinking.
