MES have been offering SIPP solutions since 2018, and our service is tailored for individuals who are no longer resident in the UK or are likely to move overseas in the future.
We have expert knowledge to assist you with managing your client’s pension in the UK, backed up by a first class customer service.
MES is directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK (ref: 805568).

At MES Pensions, we pride ourselves on a foundation of trust and integrity. Unlike many other SIPP providers operating in the international market, we have always had a clear stance against accepting non-standard or toxic assets. We have never allowed any non-standard investments and have never held an offshore bond policy within the SIPP.
Like the Financial Advisers we work with, we want to ensure the company is still operating for many years to come. By prioritising regulatory compliance and steering clear of non-standard and toxic assets, we provide a stable and secure platform for your client’s retirement savings.
All client money on our Platform is held by an independent third party custodian and is ring-fenced and segregated from our own assets in accordance with the FCA’s client money rules. The custodian is part of the Nucleus Financial Platforms Group which has over £80bn in assets under administration. They are a member of the London Stock Exchange and CREST, with sub-custody agreements in place with BNY Mellon. Uninvested cash is held in client money accounts with tier 1 banks such as Bank Of Scotland Plc, Santander, NatWest and Barclays.
The technology system powering the MES Platform is used to administer over £50bn of client assets. The system is hosted in a private cloud in a top-tier UK-based data centre, protected by 24-hour CCTV, security guards and robust physical and virtual access control procedures. The system has 24/7 active monitoring, dual-firewalls from different vendors and an Intrusion Prevention System. Disaster Recovery is provided via a continuous replication method to a geographically separate data centre.
