Ross Trustees has appointed Andrew Bradshaw as chief executive officer
Bradshaw will take over as CEO from Nigel Moore on April 1, 2022. Moore will remain on the board of directors and will continue his five-year relationship with Ross Trustees, having joined as chief operational officer in 2017 and then becoming chief executive officer in April 2019.
Ross Trustees currently has over 55 employees and over 130 pension plans totalling £48bn in assets under management. In addition to professional trustee services, it offers pensions manager, secretarial, governance, analytics, and project management.
Bradshaw says: “I’m hugely excited to lead Ross Trustees at a time of unprecedented challenges for occupational pension schemes. The entire team has built a fantastic business based on collaboration, innovation and exceptional service and I feel privileged to lead such a dynamic and diverse group of professionals.
Our growth is driven by long-term relationships that evolve continually and always in line with our clients’ needs. The last 12 months have seen Ross Trustees attract high-profile brands, complex schemes and industry-leading talent to the business. This growth leaves us well positioned to help clients deliver on their commitments to scheme members by tackling regulatory complexity, economic uncertainty and increasing governance requirements head-on.
“Nigel’s leadership has consolidated and strengthened our position at the forefront of the professional trustee services market. I would like to thank him for his significant contribution to the success of Ross Trustees and I look forward to continuing this work with him and the board.”
Moore says: “It has been an honour to lead Ross Trustees over the past three years. The business has achieved a great deal over this period, which has only been accomplished due to the depth of the team and the strength of the relationships we hold with our clients.
“The completion of the management buyout in 2020 was a significant milestone for the business and its success is testament to the confidence that our investors have in the market and our place in it. I look forward to playing an active role in the ongoing management of the business and in continuing to serve our clients. I wish Andrew every success in his new position.”
