The Pensions Trust has appointed Stephen Nichols as its new Chief Executive from 1 May 2007.
Nichols joined The Pensions Trust as Deputy Chief Executive in January 2002. His varied pension career includes spells at Express Dairies plc as Pensions Manager, at Burmah Castrol plc as Pensions Administration Manager and at consultancy firm Lane Clark and Peacock. He is an Associate of the Pensions Management Institute.
“Stephen’s appointment follows a rigorous selection process during which he was up against very tough competition,” says John Alleston, the Chair of The Pensions Trust. “There are some big challenges ahead for the Trust in the changing world of pensions. I and all the Board, look forward to working with Stephen to turn these into opportunities for the benefit of all our members and employers.”
Nichols takes over from Richard Stroud who decided to retire as Chief Executive after more than 25 years and will continue to support the Trust on a consultancy basis for the next three years.
