Dalriada makes new Director appointments to its Board

Dalriada Trustees Limited (“Dalriada”), one of the UK’s leading independent professional pension trustee firms, has increased the size of its Statutory Board, making a number of new Director appointments.

These appointments reflect the individuals’ significant contribution to the business and their key roles in delivering on our future growth plans.  The newly appointed Board Directors are Shehzad Ahmad, Sarah Ballantyne, Amanda Banister, Leanne Coomber, Geoffrey Farmer, Judith Fish, Julie-Anne Jones, Tiziana Perrella, Claire Sidebottom and Charles Ward. 

The Statutory Board is responsible for ensuring that Dalriada provides the highest standard of governance across all our appointments.  This ensures effective stewardship alongside a quality service to pension fund members.

Dalriada is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, believing that a diverse board improves the robustness and quality of decision making and brings a broader perspective to discussions.  The new appointments improve the diversity of our Board across a number of areas, in particular gender.  Following the new appointments, the gender split has improved to provide a 53% male and 47% female split and a much more balanced board in terms background and experience. 

Commenting on the appointments, Tom Lukic, Chair of Dalriada’s Board, said: “The new Board appointments reflect the valuable contributions each person has made and our plans to develop our business going forward. Dalriada is a rapidly growing business with a client-first approach to the delivery of our services. The increased diversity of the Board’s collective skillset will allow our business to continue to provide a truly unique offering at a time when schemes are navigating an increasingly complex and challenging landscape. We look forward to welcoming the new members to the Board and working with them going forward as part of our enlarged senior leadership team.”
