Redington has stepped-up its plans to become a full-service investment consultancy by making two senior appointments.
The firm welcomes Zoe Taylor (pictured) as director of strategy and Ian Mills, who becomes a managing director in the investment consulting team.
Taylor joins from Aon, where she was part of the UK management team. She will work across all of Redington’s strategic initiatives, especially growing the defined benefit (DB) arm of the business.
Mills is an actuary who brings almost 20 years’ of investment consulting experience to his new role. He quit Lane Clark & Peacock, where he was a partner, to join Redington.
During his two decades in the investment advisory industry, he has also enjoyed stints at Punter Southall and Credit Suisse.
Taylor replaces Paul Richards, who moves up to head of governance and decision research.
Richards is optimistic for the year ahead and said that Redington is looking to build on its track record. “We believe there are compelling forces that mean 2017 will be remembered as the year the industry got serious about governance,” he added.
“Over the last several years, Redington has undertaken a number of governance projects for some of the UK’s largest schemes. We intend to build on this experience providing insight and support that will let our clients effectively tackle their most challenging decisions.”
Taylor said also believes that this is an exciting time to join the firm. “I have been impressed by Redington’s unique culture of innovation, learning and dedication to diversity, and look forward to contributing to its future,” she added.
Mills said he has admired the team that Redington has built, which he is delighted to be part of. “I’m looking forward to helping DB pension schemes make better investment decisions and using my experience to contribute towards our vision of making 100 million people financially secure,” he added.
