‘A ship is safe in harbour, butthat’s not what ships are for’ ,19th century Americantheologist William Sheddfamously said.

Risk is an integral part oflife. All businesses take risksto some degree, so as tomaximise their opportunities.

The most successfulbusinesses know what risksto take and they managethose risks to maximise thechance of a successfulo u t c o m e.

To return to the nauticalanalogy, if a ship is captainedby someone with experienceand knowledge of the seas, hewill know when to come intoharbour because conditionsare perilous and when totake advantage of a strongwind to reach his destinatione a rly.

The same rationale can beapplied to the management ofthe defined benefit pensionschemes that many employersstill have within theirbu s i n e s s.

Trustees and sponsoringemployers of such schemesface many risks in managingthem, the most obvious beinghow the scheme is funded,how its assets are investedand the continued strength ofthe sponsoring employer.

Earlier this year, thePensions Regulator (whichoversees the management ofsuch schemes) was given anew statutory objective,broadly to ensure that thefunding of defined benefitschemes should not hinderemployers in growing theirbu s i n e s s e s.

To achieve this objective,whilst also continuing tosafeguard the needs ofmembers and act as agatekeeper for the PensionProtection Fund, theRegulator is increasing itsfocus on risk and how it ismana g ed.

Consultation on a new codeof practice is imminent and itis clear that trustees andsponsoring employers will berequired (if not already doingso) to consider the variousrisks inherent within theirscheme in an integrated way,rather than treating each ini s o l at i o n .

At the heart of this, is theneed for trustees and

employers to work together toidentify and reallyunderstand the risks to whicha scheme is exposed, and howthey are inter-related.

Through knowledge,schemes can try to avoidthose risks that provide littleor no reward and retain thosethat should enable them toobtain a better outcome formembers and employers.

There is no single solution,as every scheme will have itsown specific circumstancesand objectives. De-riskingstrategies that are valuablefor some schemes, will not beappropriate for others.

There is a large andgrowing market of riskreduction products, not tomention the less formal de-risking strategies designed byinvestment consultants forindividual schemes.

Care must be taken not tohinder long-term goalsthrough adoptinginappropriate strategies e.g.by setting a low-riskinvestment strategy that hasno chance of deliveringsufficient return for yourobjectives, or by adoptinghedging products that are

difficult to unwind ifcircumstances change.

Employers and trusteesshould view the new fundingframework as an opportunityto assess exactly what theirlong term goals are. They canthen analyse which risks areappropriate for their schemeto retain and mostimportantly ensure they havea framework that allows themto monitor those risks overt i m e.

Managing risks of definedbenefit pension schemesHinkley deal set

to power economyBY JEFF WELLSwdnews@b-nm.co.uk

There aren’t many weekswhen a £14 billion injection ofinvestment into the region’seconomy can be reported.

Somerset and the widerWest Country was the focus ofthe financial institutions onMonday when the Prime Min-ister flew into Hinkley Point toconfirm the long-awaitednews that a “strike price” hadbeen agreed with EDF forHinkley Point C.

The terms of the deal havebeen intensively scrutinised,with some commentators be-lieving the Government mayhave over-paid, but at a locallevel it is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime boost for there gion’s economy.

More than 20,000 jobs will becreated during constructionand 900 permanent jobs oncethe site is complete.

On the list of approved sup-pliers for the nuclear site isBatts Combe Quarry, in Ched-dar, owned by Hanson Aggreg-at e s.

David Weeks, spokesman forBatts Combe Quarry, said:“This is good news and an-other important step on theroad to the start of construc-tion work at Hinkley. But thereare still a number of hurdles toclear, not least the signing ofan official contract to begin

the project. We will then haveto confirm the terms of oursupply agreement with theAnglo-French consortiumLaing O’Ro u rke / B o u yg u e s,who are the preferred bidderfor the main civil contract.

“There is unlikely to be anyupturn in activity from BattsCombe until next year. In themeantime, we will keep res-idents fully informed throughthe quarry liaison group asthe situation develops.”

Another Somerset supplierlikely to benefit is East Brent-based William Haley Engin-eering.

The steelwork fabricationcompany employs 135 peopleproducing building frame-works and has been in talkswith EDF since last year.

National Grid is also wel-coming the news, and has an-nounced its next step towardsbuilding a controversial pylonroute through North Somer-set.

A spokeswoman for the com-pany said: “Over the next tenyears, a quarter of the powerstations the UK relies on toheat and light our homes andbusinesses will close.

“These need to be replacedand it is National Grid’s role toconnect new generators to theelectricity transmission net-wo rk .

“National Grid has a con-tract to connect the HinkleyPoint C and other proposednew generators, including agas-fired power station atSeabank and an offshore windfarm in the Bristol Channel.

“To join these new sourcesof energy safely and afford-ably we are proposing a newhigh-voltage electricity con-nection between Bridgwaterin Somerset and Seabank inAvo n m o u t h . ”

In total more than 1,400 busi-nesses – everything frombuilding firms to drinks sup-pliers – have already signed up

to a local supply chain websitewhere they can try to landcontracts to work on the hugep ro j e c t .

Rupert Cox, the chief exec-utive of Somerset’s Chamberof Commerce, said thecounty’s businesses were“we l l - p l a c e d ” to reap the be-nefits of Hinkley Point C.

“This is a positive and en-couraging step towards the de-velopment of Hinkley Point Cand the vast opportunities thiswill bring for Somerset busi-nesses and the county as awh o l e, ” he said. “This agree-ment will act as a catalyst forEDF to be able to make theirfinal investment decision.

“Providing this is positive,we can begin to engage withthe preferred tier-one con-tractors to support their ownsupply chain developmenta c t iv i t y. ”

Mr Cox said the entire pro-ject would create a whopping25,000 jobs while it was beingbuilt, and 900 permanent jobs

Up to 100 Bath jobs might goafter audiobook publisher Au-dioGO suspended trading.

The company, which has of-fices in Lower Bristol Road anda mail order store at WindsorBridge, has suspended oper-ations because of “re c e n t ly -discovered significant finan-cial challenges”.

The student accommodationmarket is booming in Bristol.While once students were seenas hard-up, now they are bigbu s i n e s s.

Work has started on a£6.2 million project in AnchorRoad in the city. Colston Toweris being converted into luxurystudent studio flats – and all132 have been sold to investorsin just seven weeks.

And Unite, the Bristol-basedstudent accommodation firm,has just issued a £90 millionbond offering to help it fund itsbuilding programme for thecoming years. It is also in theprocess of developing theformer ice rink in TrenchardStreet in a £20 million project.

Student numbers in the cityhave risen to 45,000, yet there

Harbour Court, is being builtby Midas Construction forPrime Student Living, part ofthe Crosslane Group. Its Har-bourside location is withinwalking distance of the Uni-versity of Bristol campus.

It will comprise some studioapartments and other clusteraccommodation with three tofive bedrooms sharing a kit-ch e n .

It is the company’s first in-vestment in the city and showsthat Bristol is an appealingmarket for the industry.

Jon Stewart, director atCrosslane Group, said: “T hereis a huge demand for afford-able, secure and convenientstudent accommodation inBristol and Harbour Court isexceptionally well placed notonly for the university but alsofor all the amenities that makestudent life easier and moreenjoyable. For our investors, itdelivers excellent growth po-tential and the sought afterexposure to a key universityc i t y. ”

Vita Student is behind theColston Tower project, due tobe ready in 2014. The company,founded last year, has beenacquiring land around theprestigious Russell Group uni-versity cities.

The apartments each haveflat-screen televisions, freebroadband, fitted kitchen anden-suite bathroom.

Chief executive TrevorMoore, said: “Investor re-quirement for student prop-erty like ours is at an all-timehigh.”

Rather than letting directlyto students, the company sellsflats to investors, then man-ages them on their behalf.

The scheme attracted arange of investors from over-seas and closer to home. Car-penter Andrew Smith. fromWales, bought one of the Bris-tol apartments. “I found thepotential yields in the studentproperty market are muchgreater than other areas in them a rke t , ” he said.

Bridge closurehas cost localeconomy dearBY JEFF WELLSwdnews@b-nm.co.uk

The controversial closure ofthe railway bridge in CastleCary is coming to an end, buthas reportedly cost the localeconomy millions of pounds.

The bridge has been closedsince July, and work is an-ticipated to continue untilNovember, a total of 19 weeks.

The resulting 32-mile diver-sion for goods vehicles has res-ulted in over £1 million incosts for just eight major localbusinesses, and the cumulat-ive effect on smaller busi-nesses has been calculated as afurther £1 million at least.

Additional costs have alsobeen borne by local residentsin hugely increased journeytimes and inconvenience.

Somerston and Frome MPDavid Heath raised the issues

the closure period, they haverejected any attempt to findways of providing viable al-ternatives for local people, andeven the promises to ensureproper advertising of access tolocal businesses and adequatesignage have been unsatisfact-o r y.

“The costs and the incon-venience to local people havebeen enormous, and I thinkpeople would have been un-derstanding if they felteverything was being done tohelp them through, but sadlythat is not the impressiont h at ’s been given.”

Network Rail has said thatwork is progressing on sched-ule and the bridge will open tosignal-controlled single-lanetraffic from November 15 andfully reopen on November 29.

David Warburton, the Con-servative parliamentary can-didate for Somerton andFrome, contacted the Trans-port Secretary PatrickMcLoughlin to express hisconcern at the detrimentaleffect of the closure of thisvital road, and request that thework be completed as soon asp o s s i bl e.

Mr McLoughlin said: “Ans-ford Bridge is being repairedand strengthened to bring itback up to 40-tonne loadingcapacity, which means notonly the safe passage of trainsbeneath but also provides arobust route over the railwaywithout weight restrictions,which is essential for localbusiness. I’m pleased thatwork has progressed on sched-ule and that the bridge willreopen very soon.”

Mr Warburton said: “For thepast 13 weeks, the closure ofthe A371 at Ansford Bridge inCastle Cary has had a signi-ficant effect on local busi-nesses and has been disrupt-ive to local residents.

“The maintenance andrepair work to the bridge wasvital, but we desperately neednow to get things back up andr unning.”

The Ansford railway bridge near Castle Cary has been closed since July, and work is anticipated to continue untilNovember, a total of 19 weeks, which has led to discussion of the issue in Parliament

The FTSE 100 Index ended anine-day winning streak thathad propelled it to a five-month high as investorssought to lock in profits.

It had reached its highestlevel since May in the pre-vious session, as sluggish USjobs data increased the like-lihood of the America’s cent-ral bank continuing itsmassive quantitative easingprogramme for some time toc o m e.

But concerns over creditconditions tightening inChina – after its banks tripleddebt write-offs – punctured themood, sending Asian marketssliding overnight. The wor-ries helped drive the FTSEdown 21.2 points to 6674.5.

Sterling lost one centagainst the greenback, to 1.62US dollars, while it dropped bya narrower margin againstthe single currency, to 1.17e u ro s.

In London, banks were
