To be fair if this query was on a serious personal issue I wouldn't have asked the question, but as there is a section for this on contractoruk which is well used by others asking pension questions I thought I may as well.

Hopefully the government will be making it as easy and cheap as possible to manage/re-arrange them in future, as the target audience of low paid workers who don't usually put much away for a pension need to ensure they're not being ripped off more than usual in fees within the pension industry. Otherwise they'll still have a pittance while the pension providers get rich.

Ask your employers, i.e. the umbrella. Since pensions are pretty much deregulated, there should be no problem transferring one closed fund into another scheme, or even a separate SIPP.

Auto enrolled in pension
In IR35 and the umbrella has just auto-enrolled me onto the pension scheme with 1%.
The last job also got me in their pension scheme and I probably have a few hundred quid in that also.
I'm going to be here for a few months probably, maybe a year. Who knows?
Is it possible to consolidate these pension contributions into one? If I am going to be contracting but through umbrella schemes it doesn't make much sense to have many of these pensions around.
What's the collective wisdom?
