Border to Coast Pensions Partnership (Border to Coast), the largest LGPS pool in the UK, has appointed Tim Manuel as head of responsible investment.
Manuel joins Border to Coast from Aon, a professional services provider, where he has worked for 18 years, including six most recently as head of responsible investment. He will join Border to Coast in early September.
At Aon he led a team of 20, helping the firm’s pension fund and other investor clients implement responsible investment strategies. The rest of Tim’s time at Aon was spent advising pension funds on funding and investments.
His appointment at Border to Coast follows the retirement of Jane Firth after six years at Border to Coast in a career with the LGPS spanning over 40 years.
Rachel Elwell, CEO of Border to Coast, said: “Tim will take forward the outstanding work spearheaded by Jane. Her tremendous legacy has included establishing Border to Coast as a leader in integrating responsible investment practices across portfolios to drive meaningful change on behalf of partner funds.”
Manuel, who lives in Leeds, is an actuary (Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries) and has a degree in Theoretical Physics from the University of Newcastle.
