London, UK – Hewitt Associates, a global human resources consulting and outsourcing company, has won the two top honours for consultants at the UK Pensions Awards 2010 held by Professional Pensions.  Hewitt walked away with the Actuarial Consultancy of the Year and Investment Consultancy of the Year awards at the ceremony, which took place on 20 April at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.  

Each year Professional Pensions magazine invites nominations for the various categories and these are then judged by a panel of distinguished industry experts.

Andy Cox, managing director of Hewitt in the UK, said:

"Winning both these awards is a real tribute to a year of considerable effort and success for our UK Investment and Retirement teams.

"It is deserved recognition for the progress that Hewitt has made as an organisation in offering our clients the winning combination of knowledge and practicality.  This has provided clients with the solutions they need to handle their key pensions issues during a time of unprecedented financial uncertainty in which clear advice and real answers have been of crucial importance.  It's also proof of our strength - when the going got tough, the tough really got going.

"I would like to take this opportunity to publically thank associates at Hewitt for their huge commitment which is recognised by these prestigious awards.  Well done!"
