Pensions reclaim specialist boosts headcount with creation of 16 roles
Altrincham-based pensions reclaim specialist, AskRose, is creating 16 jobs to nearly double the headcount at its headquarters as part of a major expansion.
AskRose supports women affected by issues linked to Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) and other state pension entitlement discrepancies, helping claimants navigate complex Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) correction processes.
Based at Bruntwood and Trafford Council’s Foundation building on George Street, AskRose has grown from a team of five in September 2025 to 17 by May 2026. The new cohort of staff starting over the next month will mean it will have 33 team members.
The move sees AskRose take over the remaining office space of the building and pushes the property to 100% capacity. The 2,910 sq ft of bespoke workspace is currently being fitted out to support the company’s growth.
The new intake of 16 team members will be customer service positions designed to help the 100,000 clients that AskRose currently has on its books.
Elaine Walker, AskRose director, said: “The work we do is because there is an unmet need for specialist advisers in this sector and the number of customers who have signed up with us since 2025 shows how right we were.
“We are very proud of this phenomenal growth – which means that we will be able to do an even better job helping the most important people – our customers.
“The thousands of women who are not able to go through the arduous process of reclaiming their own money from HMRC need our help and this expansion gives us all the tools we need to do this for them efficiently and successfully.”
She added: “We are the biggest force in this particular market and it is a responsibility that we take seriously. The current average repayment from the Government for our clients is more than £8,000, which is obviously a significant amount of money.
“We are also pleased to be creating more jobs in Altrincham and Greater Manchester with our latest expansion.”
A spokesperson for Bruntwood and Trafford Council said: “AskRose’s expansion demonstrates the value of providing a flexible workspace that can adapt as businesses grow. We’re pleased to support the team as they create 16 new jobs and expand their headquarters at Foundation.
“Their growth also reflects the continued demand for high quality workspace in Altrincham, with Foundation now at full occupancy.”
