LCP has appointed Daren Newman as head of Pensions Administration following the retirement of Gill Farrance who stepped down earlier this month.

Daren joined LCP 23 years ago, becoming a partner in the firm in 2011. He has played a central role in developing the strategic direction of the department.

Daren commented: “I am very excited to take on the role as Head of Department and feel blessed to have such a strong team to work with. Our pensions administration department has grown tremendously over the last 5 years, and I fully expect that growth to continue over what will be a very exciting time for the department and wider firm.”

Aaron Punwani, LCP’s CEO, commented: “Daren has distinguished himself by excellent standards of client service and a commitment to continuous, technology-driven improvement to LCP’s pensions administration offering. I am delighted with his appointment, which sets us up very well for the future, following on from the fantastic leadership that Gill Farrance has provided to the department over many years.”
