ndapt

What ndapt does

ndapt is a London-based professional services firm founded in 2020 that provides independent professional trustees, non-executive directors, and board governance support to UK pension schemes (defined benefit and defined contribution), charities, community interest companies, and corporates. It operates through three UK private limited companies — ndapt ltd, ndapt trustee ltd, and ndapt professional trustee ltd — all registered in England and Wales, with the regulated trustee activity segregated from advisory and technology work. The business is wholly owned by its directors, has no external shareholders and no ancillary services, and pitches its conflict-free ownership structure as a deliberate differentiator in a market where many trustee providers are embedded within larger actuarial/consultancy groups.

The firm's revenue mix spans three lines: (1) professional trustee appointments on DB and DC pension schemes under Board Chair, co-trustee, or sole trustee models; (2) non-executive director placements on corporate and not-for-profit boards, available as permanent or project-based engagements; and (3) Citrus, a not-for-profit DB master trust consolidation solution enabling scheme consolidation while sponsors retain strategic control. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with all distribution run through direct enterprise engagement rather than intermediaries.

ndapt's proprietary technology layer is wini™, an award-winning board support platform that combines AI and automation to handle permissions-based information sharing, real-time updates, and compliance/management workflows so trustees and NEDs can focus on strategic issues. Marketing is conducted through the firm website, LinkedIn, X, and Facebook, complemented by an industry-wide giveback CSR program launched in 2023 that has attracted 15+ counterparties including CMS, WTW, Mercer, Aon, Schroders, Gallagher, Isio, XPS, Russell Investments, and the Pension Insurance Corporation.
