Career

Andrew helps pension scheme trustees and sponsors with the running and de-risking of their pension schemes.

Clients tell him they value the time he invests in understanding their business, culture and objectives and how he uses this knowledge to provide clear, practical and risk-based recommendations, suited to their situation.

Andrew works with clients of all shapes and sizes with particular areas of focus being the financial services, retail, transport, utility and not-for-profit sectors.

While I advise on the full range of pension issues, I have particular expertise in pension scheme closures and mergers, governance, administration outsourcing, de-risking, funding mechanisms and distressed sponsor situations. I also advise on the pension aspects of takeovers, restructurings and outsourcings.
