Rob Gardner said: “Dawid and I founded Redington in 2006 with the mission to do to pensions what Jamie Oliver did to school food. Our idea was simple. To help pensions schemes better understand and manage their risks. Starting in Dawid’s attic, Redington has now grown from our first client Royal Mail to over 80 clients. From the two of us to an incredible team of over 140 employees. All committed to helping 100 million people become financially secure. I am super proud of what we have achieved."
“My new role at St. James's Place will allow me to build on my mission to empower individual clients to lead a financially secure future. Combining my experience in pensions, investments and financial education. In my role as Non-Executive Director at Redington, I and the board will continue to focus on helping our clients and helping the firm grow and develop"
Dawid Konotey-Ahulu, Chairman of Redington Board, said: “Rob and I have worked closely together for over 15 years; first as colleagues at Merrill Lynch and then as entrepreneurs setting up and running Redington. As Rob now steps into a new, senior role at St James's Place, I have no doubt he will have a major impact on the organisation. For my part, I am delighted that Rob will continue to serve on Redington's Board (in a new role as a Non-Executive Director), alongside myself as Chairman, Mitesh Sheth as CEO, and David Bennett as Executive Board Director."
Mitesh Sheth, CEO, Redington: “Rob’s role has evolved over the past couple of years as both he and Dawid have taken a step back from the day-to-day management of the business. Throughout this time, as Board Directors, they have given me and my executive committee their full support to lead the strategy, drive performance and deal with the management of the firm. Together, we have built a team of more than 40 talented consultants, 77 investment professionals, and 143 employees, committed to delivering better outcomes for our 86 clients in the UK, Europe and most recently China."
“We’re delighted for Rob as he takes on this new challenge and wish him the very best. The business is in great shape with revenues of £18.3m, a 22% yoy increase as at 30th April 2018. I see his decision as a huge vote of confidence in our leadership team and consulting bench. He will remain a majority shareholder in Redington (alongside Dawid) and will continue to contribute to the company’s strategy, working with me and the Executive Committee towards our mission to help 100 million people become financially secure."
