Patricia Kennedy, from Coylton, has fought a long-standing battle with former employer Hewlett Packard Enterprise in bid to force the company to bump up discretionary pension contributions.
An Ayrshire woman waging a campaign against tech giants Hewlett Packard over what she claims is a pensions ‘scandal’ hopes that a Westminster Parliamentary debate can shine a light on the issue.

“UK HPE pensioners are enlisting the support of a number of MPs for this debate which is very likely to include HPE and other companies.
