Old Mutual Wealth has bolstered its pension specialist team with two new hires to cater to high advisor demand ahead of the UK pensions reform.

Roddy Munro and Tim Mason will support advisors covering northern regions through workshops, forums and one-to-one sessions focused on practical advice.

“With less than three months until the pension reforms come into force, I’m delighted to be able to provide even more comprehensive support to advisors during this crucial period,” Tony Harris, head of specialist sales, said in a statement.

Munro, a chartered financial planner and associate member of the Chartered Insurance Institute, previously spent 24 years at Scottish Widows, where he developed the retirement account proposition and responded to the Retail Distribution Review in individual and corporate pensions.

Mason is a certified financial planner, fellow of the Personal Finance Society and associate of the Pension Management Institute. He joins from Just Retirement and has more than 14 years’ experience in the financial service market.

The double hire brings Old Mutual Wealth’s specialist sales team to 19, four of whom are dedicated to pensions.
