David Alward

The pensions world can be complex, but I believe talking about it doesn’t have to be. I like to build relationships by having open conversations in plain English, understanding and accommodating what is important to my clients.

I support trustees and sponsors of defined benefit schemes on a wide range of issues, from funding their pension schemes to wider pensions strategy. I have particular experience in running pension change projects and communicating benefit changes to members.

I also advise a number of independent schools participating in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme with their remuneration and pensions strategy. You can find more about our work on teachers' pensions here.

Outside of work, I am a keen golfer and love to travel. I am also fluent in Spanish, which is helpful more often than you might expect.
