Brunel Pension Partnership’s Kevin Jones joins Pensions for Purpose as Non-Executive Director

Pensions for Purpose, the fast-growing independent membership organisation helping pension funds invest for impact, today announced the appointment of Kevin Jones as Non-Executive Director (NED).

Kevin serves as Director of Risk & General Counsel at Brunel Pension Partnership Limited, where he is responsible for the legal aspects of transitioning over £30bn of client assets into the firm’s management, establishing significant investment portfolio legal structures and managing legal relationships and risk.

In addition to his 30 years of expertise as a corporate lawyer, Kevin brings to the NED position his experience in guiding boards across various sectors on the legal principles of implementing their strategies. His knowledge in risk management, legal frameworks and impact investments will be invaluable to Pensions for Purpose.

Charlotte O’Leary, CEO for Pensions for Purpose said: “I am delighted to welcome Kevin to our team.

I am excited to be working with Charlotte, Karen Shackleton and the wider team at Pensions for Purpose, and helping them take the conversation on people and planet to a wider audience.”

This is Kevin’s first directorship, marking the evolution of his professional experience as an adviser to boards to being a board member in his own right. He will play an important role in supporting and providing insights to the management team, leveraging his legal expertise to contribute a unique perspective to the company’s growth and strategic direction.

Before joining Brunel, Kevin was a partner with Browne Jacobson LLP, where he chaired the Birmingham office board, and with Wragge & Co LLP (now Gowlings WLG LLP). His private practice focused on investment management, mergers and acquisitions and equity fundraisings.
