Why You Should Join Us

• We believe it is still important to have a large network of pensioners in place who can act together on any matters which might adversely affect our future pensions.
• We will closely monitor the ZF UK Pension Plan and the employer’s commitment to support it.
• We will keep a careful watch on how effectively L&G manage the TRW pensions which were recently transferred to them.
• You will receive our regular newsletter, keeping you informed of any significant matters which might affect your future pension benefits and matters of common interest relating to our shared employment history.
• You will be joining nearly 3,000 others who have helped bring the Association to its present level, and you will be adding your weight to its future activities.

Your support is very important: Pensioners need to have a voice in future developments which could affect the pensions which we have worked and paid for. The more members we have the louder that voice will be.

Who Is Eligible
Membership is open to all those in receipt of a ZF UK Pension Plan pension (or who have a deferred entitlement) from the ZF UK Pension Plan or those who have been transferred to Legal and General Insurance or those who have accepted a lump sum in exchange for their annual pension.
Associate ( i.e. non–voting) membership is also open to all who were originally employees of Lucas or TRW, or ZF UK, or their successor companies and whose pension is now paid by another provider.
You can also join if you are the surviving widow or widower of a former Lucas or TRW or ZF UK employee. Some households have two former Lucas or TRW or ZF UK employees and both are entitled to join.
Those who now live outside the U.K. are also welcome to join the Association, providing they have an active email address.
