MAJOR Salisbury employer Personal Pension Management Limited has changed its name to Capita PPML.

It follows the acquisition of PPML by the Capita Group Plc last month.

Capita PPML employs more than 400 staff at its Castle Street headquarters, and is one of the UK's leading specialist pensions administrators. It will continue to administer the existing business in Salisbury.

"The name change reflects that we now combine the expertise of both companies," explained Neil Barry, managing director of Capita PPML.

"We can now integrate the business process and technology skills of Capita with the specialist pensions expertise and innovation of PPML."

The Capita Group is a leading provider of integrated professional support service solutions, including third party pension administration.

It is quoted on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100.
