Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) has appointed a new direct infrastructure leadership team to strengthen its infrastructure investments.
Jonathan Ord has been promoted to head of direct Infrastructure, having served as head of investment since January 2024.
In his new role, Ord will take overall responsibility for leading the team, ensuring it continues to deliver strong outcomes across its investment portfolio.
Daniel Hobson, formerly head of infrastructure asset management, will move into a newly created role as head of origination and execution, to deliver new investment opportunities.
James Harraway joins the team as head of value creation, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in infrastructure investment and M&A.
He joins from mid-market infrastructure fund Infracapital, where he was managing director.
The appointments come as GLIL Infrastructure, the £4.1bn infrastructure investment fund created by pension funds for pension funds, celebrates its 10-year anniversary.
LPPI is the alternative investment fund manager of GLIL with Ord and Hobson leading its investment team as founding members since 2016.
To date, GLIL has deployed more than £3.2bn into a portfolio of 14 assets, 13 directly managed, spanning renewable energy, utilities, ports, logistics, trains, hospitals and schools.
LPPI said the new leadership team reflects its ongoing focus on origination and value creation across its infrastructure portfolio, enabling it to deploy long-term UK pension fund capital into projects that deliver positive societal outcomes, while generating stable, inflation-linked returns for investors.
“These appointments mark an exciting new chapter for our direct infrastructure team,” said Richard Tomlinson, chief investment officer at LPPI.
“The team’s expertise and track record have been central to the success of our direct infrastructure portfolio, and this refined focus on origination and value creation will ensure we continue to deliver strong, sustainable returns for UK pension fund investors,” Tomlinson added.
