Peter Norman is a focused and high-achieving professional. He started his career at LCP, where he qualified as an actuary and worked for nine years before moving to First Actuarial’s Basingstoke office. He began practising as a Scheme Actuary in 2016, supporting a variety of high-profile clients, and moved to the firm’s Peterborough office in the same year.
Kirk Hinton is a real home-grown star, having joined First Actuarial in 2006 after graduating from Nottingham Trent University. He took responsibility for winning new business and worked as a client lead from an early stage. He managed the actuarial team in Peterborough for several years.
Kirk Hinton says: “I’m overjoyed to be promoted to Partner – it’s fantastic to receive the recognition. First Actuarial has been so good to me over the years. I’ve been able to follow in the footsteps of some exceptional people who have given me training, encouragement and valuable opportunities to grow and succeed. I’m keen to do the same and nurture the next generation of First Actuarial superstars.”
Peter Norman says: “Partnership is something I’ve been working towards for many years. But with so many talented people here, I never took it for granted. Besides offering training, support and a varied workload, First Actuarial encourages its Scheme Actuaries to think and act independently when advising their clients. I’m confident that this has been the right environment for me to flourish and reach my full potential.”
Planning for the future as Partners
Both Kirk and Peter are keen to get started as newly-promoted Partners.
Peter says: “I’m keen to keep the momentum of my promotion going. As a Partner, I’ll be helping the business thrive. I’ll also be giving our clients the support and reassurance they need to navigate oncoming challenges such as the new funding code, the general code and pensions dashboards.”
Kirk says: “My number one priority is to continue to do what I have always done – making sure that clients receive excellent service at a fair price. That’s how First Actuarial has continued to grow, year on year, for two decades. I also plan to help my colleagues develop by handing over some interesting work. This will free up my time to win new business, whilst making sure we keep the First Actuarial ethos and values alive as we continue to grow.”
Managing Partner David Joy commented: “Peter and Kirk have performed brilliantly for their clients, their colleagues and of course, First Actuarial as a whole. Partner status recognises and rewards their efforts. I am delighted to be in business with these two highly talented and motivated individuals, who live and breathe the values of the firm."
