The Local Picture

Middlesbrough and the wider Teesside area has a significant population of former industrial workers — including steel, chemical, and manufacturing employees — who held valuable defined benefit pension rights and were targeted by financial advisers during the 2015–2022 period.

The Teesside region was also affected by the broader BSPS mis-selling scandal, with workers at British Steel's Teesside operations and related industries approached during the pension transfer review period. Multiple adviser firms serving the Teesside region are now in FSCS default.
