Since 2017 I have been a professional trustee representing Dalriada - bringing deep and practical commercial experience to the important role of managing DB pensions debt for the benefit of scheme members. I have experience addressing the range of opportunities (and challenges) that present within and around DB pension schemes and working with all stakeholders to solve problems and deliver the best possible outcomes.I am privileged to have led and grown Dalriada's business in Yorkshire since joining the business and growing a talented team of pensions professionals operating across the region (and beyond) from our Leeds office.Prior to Dalriada I spent seven years’ working as an employer covenant adviser at PwC supporting both trustees and employers, helping parties understand the employer covenant as they manage pension deficits. I have specialised in dealing with significant business events such as mergers and acquisitions, and where the pension debt is very large vs the business.My experience managing and supporting stakeholders in commercial situations and deal-making is built on an earlier career as a hands-on restructuring/M&A accountant, and prior to that, working as a professional engineer in project management roles in construction.
