Heywood was formed in 1975 as a small consulting actuaries firm. That same year, we were closely involved in the formation of the CLASS Group - a public/private partnership benefiting our LGPS, Police, and Fire customers still to this day.
Fast-forward to 2002. Our transformative merger with Aquila made us the largest UK provider of life and pensions administration systems. The Aquila Heywood Group evolved over the years, with the Aquila segment being sold in 2018.
In February 2021, BlackRock Long Term Private Capital (LTPC) acquired Aquila Heywood, solidifying support for our fast-growing customer base. November 2021 marked a significant milestone as the company rebranded as Heywood Pension Technologies, with a renewed focus on products and services.
Heywood is now leading the industry with our innovative technologies. We’ve made it our mission to simplify pensions administration, drive operational efficiency, and leverage the power of digital engagement.
