Broadstone, a leading independent pensions, employee benefits, and investments consultancy, is delighted to announce that Chris Rice has been appointed Head of Trustee Services.
Chris has been at Broadstone for the past two years as a Senior Actuarial Director in the Bristol office, bringing 15 years’ of industry experience to the table.
Trustees’ responsibilities range from ongoing scheme governance, administration and investment to planning and securing the scheme with an insurance company.
In his new role, Chris will lead Broadstone’s dedicated Trustee offering as part of its wider Consulting and Actuarial division. The service will support Trustees with expert advice and proprietary technology to help them understand their choices and make confident decisions.
Broadstone’s Consulting and Actuarial division is a trusted adviser to over 350 Trustee Boards including their pension schemes and sponsors. Broadstone was voted the UK’s best Third-Party Administrator in 2022 by its clients with scheme membership ranging from as little as five to as many as 5,000.
Chris Rice, Head of Trustee Services at Broadstone, commented: “The landscape for Trustees is evolving rapidly and maturing in a complex economic environment. Now, more than ever, Trustees need clear advice to help reach their strategic goals and protect the benefits of their members.
“The demands on Trustees are wide-ranging – from day-to-day investment and funding to achieving buy-out – and I am excited to provide an ever-increasing level of advisory support in this area, complementing our award-winning administration service.
Nigel Jones, Head of Consulting & Actuarial at Broadstone, said: “Chris has been an integral member of our team for the past two years and was instrumental in the development of both our Sirius software and SM&RT Insure proposition. His sector expertise will be invaluable in directly addressing the needs of Trustees moving forward.
“We have progressed a number of exciting technological and product developments over the past year giving Chris a fantastic platform to continue executing our strategy and delivering an outstanding service to Trustees.”
