Lifestyle Article - First Actuarial announce four new Associate Partners

 First Actuarial’s new Associate Partners, effective from August 2025, are Ross Bennett (investment consultancy), Lee French (employee benefit consultancy), Aaron Love (actuarial) and David Parfett (employee benefit consultancy).

 David Joy, Managing Partner at First Actuarial says: “We’ve reported bumper growth for several years now, and this has only been possible with the superb team we have here. It’s great to be able to recognise four more brilliant individuals by making them associate partners.”

 This year’s Associate Partner promotions highlight some of the firm’s particularly successful business areas. The actuarial function is benefiting from growth in the firm’s core business. The newly formed employee benefits arm – encompassing Defined Contribution pensions, group protection and healthcare insurance services – has proven to be a highly successful and strategic business diversification. Meanwhile, the investment team has grown its core investment consultancy services while developing areas such as fiduciary manager oversight and charity endowments.

 David Joy concludes: “Colleagues are happy to see career progression for others, as it shows them a route for their own development. They see hard work and achievement being rewarded, and hopefully that motivates them as well.”
