I am a straightforward and practical actuary, giving clients a clear understanding of the key issues and next steps – enabling better and faster decisions.

I also understand the importance of implementing decisions efficiently for clients to get full value.

I believe that clear communication is the key to achieving the best outcomes for pension schemes – fostering a collaborative approach between trustees and sponsors by helping trustees ensure members make the best decisions, and supporting sponsors in engaging with employees. Working in this way, I have helped both trustee and corporate clients achieve their goals.

Recent examples include advising schemes on the new freedom and flexibility, giving members new options in an efficient and manageable way; and advising sponsors on the closure of pension schemes to future accrual, leading to risk and cost savings for the sponsor.
