Our Work

The HSBS offers a Personal Pension Scheme exclusively for staff employed by Hunts.

Contributions can be paid by Hunt Staff and/or their employers and the pension is specially designed for Hunt Staff to take with them during their career. Hunt Staff who leave the profession to pursue other careers can continue to pay into their HSBS pension, along with their new employer.

If you are a member of Hunt Staff and interested in taking out a Pension with the Society, or a Master who wishes to provide a pension for one of your staff, please contact Mrs. Fiona Russell-Brown on either 01285 653001 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

About the HSBS

The Hunt Staff Benefit Society (HSBS) was established in 1872, under the name of the Hunt Servants' Benefit Society. The name was changed to Hunt Staff Benefit Society on 1st January, 2004.

The present Patron and Governor is His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.

The HSBS is a Registered Friendly Society benefiting the staff, without whom hunting could not exist. It is not a Charity. It offers a Personal Pension Scheme specifically, and only, for staff employed by Hunts. Contributions can be paid by Hunt Staff  and/or their employers and the pension is specially designed for Hunt Staff to take with them during their career.

The Scheme offers secured benefits with the possibility of additional bonuses from successful investment performance. Over eleven million pounds are currently invested efficiently and successfully by professional Investment Managers overseen by the Executive Sub-Committee.

The unique aspect of the scheme is the additional support from Honorary Members' Subscriptions, Donations (Caps from Hunts, Donations in Memorium, from Supporters Clubs and other sources) Legacies and Fundraising activities.

If you are a hunt employee, or employ hunt staff, you should ask for further details of the Pension Scheme.

If you go hunting you should consider supporting the HSBS, for the benefit of Hunt Staff, by becoming an Honorary Member and supporting the Society’s fundraising activities.
