Jonathan Sarkar has been appointed as head of Corporate Consulting at HSBC Actuaries and Consultants.
Sarkar, who joined the firm in May 2004 from Mercer, has been key to the development of the London team which he has headed up since his arrival. He is, however, well known to clients and prospects around the country as he is regular speaker at HSBC Actuaries and Consultants events.
“Increasingly, we are being appointed by companies to provide independent advice on their pension arrangements our involvement in the buyout of the Rank Pension Plan is a case in point. Part of our strategic focus is to develop further our corporate consulting business and I am really looking forward to leading this initiative,” says Sarkar.
Simon Taylor will be taking over from Sarkar as team leader of the London team. Taylor, a qualified actuary, joined the firm from Hewitts in October 2006 and has been closely involved in advising major clients and securing new business within the London team.
“With HACLs commitment to the growth of our business, these are exciting times and I am delighted to be heading up the team of talented individuals we have in the London Office,” says Taylor.
