As a Partner in our longevity pension risk transfer practice, I specialise in providing insurance de-risking and long-term strategy advice to both trustee and corporate clients.

Over the last ten years I have helped a number of our largest clients successfully complete both buy-in and buy-out transactions including some of the largest deals in the market - such as the £6.5bn buy-ins completed by RSA in 2023, the collateralised buy-in transaction between ICI Pension Fund and Legal & General and the recent buy-ins completed by M&S Pension Scheme.

I focus on collaborative working with both my clients and their existing advisers and have strong project management skills to ensure successful execution.

I also provide general pensions advice to a number of trustee and corporate clients.

Recent example transactions include:

• RSA - £6.5bn buy-in (2023)
• Deutsche Bank – 3x buy-ins totalling over £1bn (2020 to 2022)
• ICI - 20 x collateralised pensioner buy-ins totalling £9bn (2014 to 2022)
• Marks and Spencer – 6x buy-ins totalling £3.5bn (2018 to 2020)
• Ladbrokes Pension Plan - £420m full buy-in (2019)
• PA Pension Scheme - £850m full buy-in (2018)
