In just over a year since its formal creation, Aptia, a global pensions and employee benefits administration company, has expanded its European presence by opening three new office spaces and further expanding its London head office.

In Edinburgh, Aptia has relocated to South Gyle Business Park, while in Manchester, it has moved into the iconic Freetrade building.

Additionally, the company is establishing new premises near the Tagus River in Lisbon, in an area known as Parque das Nações, and has acquired another floor at Tower 42 in the City of London

As the largest private pensions administrator in the UK, Aptia continues its exponential growth since separating from Mercer with support from Bain Capital.

Alongside its European expansion, the firm plans to grow in the US and India this year.

Bala Viswanathan, founder & CEO, said: “We continue to hit targets, win business and solidify ourselves as a new force in pensions and benefits administration – and the growth of our physical presence underlines this.

“Our Lisbon operation is exciting, growing at great speed and in the UK we continue to invest in our regional hubs, alongside our London offices.

“It has been a great first year, and thanks to the hard work of everyone, there is lots more to come in the near future”.
