LPPI has formally opened the doors of its Bristol office, and is onboarding 25 new joiners, as it deepens the support it provides partner funds following Fit for the Future.
Of these appointments, 15 join from Brunel, with the new hires working across the pool’s investment, legal, compliance and operations teams.
Brunel’s chief operating officer – Joe Webster – is also joining the pool’s executive committee, where he’ll lead LPPI’s technology and data teams as it develops new solutions for partner funds.
The hires will be spread across LPPI’s London and Bristol offices, with the Bristol office complementing the pool’s existing sites in Preston and London, and maintains a local presence for all partner funds.
LPPI chief executive Chris Rule said: “By welcoming our new colleagues and establishing our Bristol office, we are adding to and retaining critical expertise within the LGPS at a crucial time, strengthening our ability to support partner funds across the country.
“Collaboration and scale enable us to develop new offerings and solutions that meet the evolving needs of our partner funds. Together, we are well positioned to deliver even greater value for members and employers.”
LPPI’s chief people and culture officer Lorraine Taylor added: “This move will help us grow the ambitious, professional culture we’ve built to deliver on behalf of our partner funds. Our on-the-ground presence is critical if we are to contribute to the communities and regions we serve.
“The expansion also reflects the scalability of our model, enabling us to support a growing number of partner funds and significantly increased AUM while maintaining an efficient organisation.”
