OUR DIVERSE
TEAM
We have assembled
our team of
Pensions Business
Advisory experts
from diverse, multi-
disciplinary
backgrounds. The
result is a team of
business people
that understand
pensions from
many view points;
as a Chairman,
CEO, CFO,
treasurer, HR
director, non-
executive director,
trustee, member,
employee, union
representative,
insurer, capital
market
counterparty,
regulator, actuary
and, overall, as a
restructuring
business advisor.
Our team helped to
shape the UK
pension regulatory
framework at its
inception, advising
the Pension
Protection Fund on
its initial risk-
based levy and the
Pensions Regulator
on its original
Clearance
Guidance and
Scheme Funding
rules.
