Ross Trustees strengthens trustee team with two appointments

28 September 2020

Ross Trustees, the professional trustee and pension services firm, has strengthened its team further with the appointment of Janet Branagh and Nigel Wildman.

Janet joins Ross Trustees as a senior trustee manager and Nigel Wildman as a trustee manager. Both bring to the firm considerable and varied experience in working with defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes gained across a range of roles in the pensions industry.

Janet joins Ross Trustees from another professional trustee firm, where she was a senior trustee officer involved in a wide range of scheme and project management exercises, as well as taking the lead in governance roles. She draws on a wide skill set and experience in pension trusteeship and financial services more broadly to support clients, including those where Ross Trustees acts as sole corporate trustee.

Nigel joins Ross Trustees having provided independent trustee services through his own consultancy business. He has held a number of roles in multinational businesses and was chairman of the board of trustees for Epson UK Ltd. Nigel has been involved in a variety of projects, including liability reduction activities, and has particular experience of fiduciary management mandates and schemes with overseas parents.

“One of the main reasons clients choose Ross Trustees is the diversity of experience and thought that we offer. We are a dynamic and growing 42-strong business with a team drawn from many different disciplines, including pensions professionals, investment specialists, lawyers and actuaries. Janet and Nigel enhance this experience further still and we all look forward to working with them and to the contributions they will bring.”
Nigel Moore – Chief Executive Officer, Ross Trustees
