Pursuant to section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925, notice is hereby given that the Harvest Pension Scheme (previously known as the Tithebarn Products Contributory Pension Scheme and then the Tithebarn Contributory Pension Scheme before a name change to the current Harvest Pension Scheme during the mid-1980s) (“the Scheme”) commenced wind-up with effect on and from 20 May 2024.

The Trustee intends to distribute the assets of the Scheme among all persons entitled to benefits from the Scheme as at the date it commenced wind-up. Anyone (including, but not limited to, any former employees of Tithebarn Limited, Bell & Sons (Northern) Limited, Probiotics International Limited, Tithebarn Taylings Limited and Tithebarn Babet Limited) who believes that he or she is a member of the Scheme but who has not been contacted about the winding-up, or anyone who believes they have any interest, claim or entitlement in the Scheme that has not been notified to the Trustee should write and provide details of their membership, interest, claim or entitlement to the Trustee of the Harvest Pension Scheme, c/o XPS administration, 3rd Floor, East Wing, 40 Torphichen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8JB.

Details must be sent within 2 months of the date of publication of this notice. After expiry of the 2 month period the Trustee will proceed to distribute the assets of the Scheme and the Trustee of the Scheme shall not be liable to any person in respect of any claim, interest or entitlement he or she may have in relation to the Scheme but of which the Trustee has not been notified.

If you are already receiving a pension, or have received correspondence from the Scheme in respect of the wind-up you do not need to write to the Trustee as it already has details about your entitlements.
