Sackers at sixty

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary in 2026, we reflect on how far we’ve come since Harry Sacker founded the firm in 1966. While we are a very different firm today, some things have not changed. Being a specialist firm at the heart of the pensions and retirement savings industry means that we have a strong purpose and vision. We take our position as market leaders seriously and invest upfront in emerging areas to make sure we are always ahead of the curve. Above all, we have terrific people, who go the extra mile for clients and come together to give Sackers its unique culture.
