The People’s Pension has appointed Stuart Reid as its new distribution director.
Reid will join The People’s Pension in February, after serving as director of workplace pension at Smart Pension.
He has over 30 years of experience, including roles at Scottish Widows and Hymans Robertson and he has also worked closely with Trustees, EBCs, and employers.
He joins as The People’s Pension prepares to invest in private markets, having reached £30 billion in assets under management four months ago.
Reid says: “I’m thrilled to be joining such a purpose-led organisation, which has a proven track record in driving societal change. I look forward to leading a talented team and building on the huge success that People’s Partnership has enjoyed over the past decade. It’s such an exciting time for defined contribution funds, especially those with the rapidly growing scale like The People’s Pension offers to its 6.9 million members and over 100,000 employers.”
The People’s Pension chief commercial officer David Meliveo says: “We are genuinely delighted to bring Stuart on board as he has a rich experience of working in consultancies, insurance and pension providers, and that breadth of almost 30 years’ knowledge will really help The People’s Pension continue to grow in all parts of the workplace benefits market.”
