He/Him
I find pensions endlessly fascinating! My first job was as a micro-economist with the Institute for Fiscal Studies for nine years, followed by two years teaching social policy at Bath University. I was unexpectedly elected to Parliament in 1997, and served for 18 years, the last five of which I was the Pensions Minister.
During my time at DWP I oversaw the successful implementation of automatic enrolment, helped design and legislate for the new state pension and played a key role in the ‘pension freedoms’ introduced in 2015.
Since leaving politics I have worked for four years for the mutual insurer Royal London commenting on all matters relating to pensions and in 2020 I joined LCP as a partner, advising and commenting on a wide range of DB and DC pensions issues and speaking at a variety of events.
I am one of LCP’s spokespeople - you can contact me directly on 07875 494184.
Visit our On Point hub where I talk about a range topics on the UK pensions and finance agenda.
When we ask LCP for advice we are reassured that they will often come back with more thought provoking ideas and risk strategies for us to consider than just a generic answer thus giving us options and liabilities to walk through.
