Max has an impressive track record of developing strong relationships in financial services, and particularly the corporate pensions market, bringing a wealth of experience to his new role for People’s Pension.

Commenting on his appointment, Max said:
“I’m proud to be joining People’s Partnership at such a pivotal time in its journey. Mine and my team’s role will be working closely with employee benefit consultants, employers and trustees to grow People’s Partnership’s workplace pension offering by attracting new, and developing existing, corporate client relationships.
“I look forward to building on the organisation’s strong foundations to support retirement outcomes for even more millions of savers across the UK.”
Stuart Reid, Distribution Director at People’s Partnership, said:
“As our distribution team continues to grow, Max’s appointment represents a significant milestone in strengthening our leadership capacity. He will play a central role in shaping and executing our long-term strategy for growth in the DC and workplace pensions market.
“We expect to continue attracting top-tier talent and major clients as the industry realigns under the new legislation outlined in the Pension Schemes Bill, including the consolidation of DC pension schemes. Max is a key part of the future of People’s Partnership, and it’s great he’s joining at a time when the Pension Schemes Bill will reshape the way the market works.”
