David Fairs has joined Scottish fintech firm Guiide as a new strategic adviser.
Fairs spent four years with TPR, during which time he oversaw the implementation of several important policy recommendations during a time of significant change and hardship for the pensions sector. This includes the new DB funding structure as well as the significant new authority provided by the Pensions Schemes Act. Prior to joining TPR, he worked at KPMG as a pensions partner.
Guiide actuary and founder Kevin Hollister says: “Our continued goal is to simplify the word “pensions”, for as many savers as possible. This can be done either directly with our free online planning tools or via their providers if they wish to help.
“Support in understanding how to get the best possible retirement outcome and protecting against bad outcomes should be a given for all pension savers.
“This guidance needs to be provided to them at no cost to be effective. David has been a keen advocate of protecting savers and helping them achieve this.
“We could not have found a better match for our goals and values. We are really pleased that he has decided to share his experience with us to help Guiide achieve these aims.”
