Pensions - Articles - Nick Tinker to join Lincoln Pensions

 Nick will join Lincoln Pensions in September, having previously spent 10 years in the Pensions Advisory business of AlixPartners (formerly Zolfo Cooper) where he has advised some of the UK’s largest and most high-profile pension schemes on all aspects of employer covenant, scheme specific funding and transaction-related pensions advice. He will split his time between London and Leeds.

 Lincoln Pensions is continuing to grow rapidly as more and more schemes and sponsors seek professional, independent covenant advice in light of the Pension Regulator’s funding code, published last Summer, which places employer covenant at the heart of risk management alongside actuarial and investment risk for defined-benefit pension schemes.

 Since the publication of the code, Lincoln Pensions has seen strong growth in demand particularly from small and mid-sized schemes which had not previously engaged an external covenant provider. As a leading independent covenant provider, the firm provides a range of services tailored to clients of all sizes and degrees of complexity.

 Commenting on the appointment, Darren Redmayne, Head of Lincoln Pensions, said: “Nick brings a fantastic range of experience to Lincoln Pensions, having served clients of all sizes and complexity and we are delighted that he is joining our firm. As our business goes from strength to strength, it is important that we continue to invest in experienced covenant experts like Nick, so that we can keep delivering the highest possible levels of client service in the continually evolving pensions market.”
