Head of Investment Consulting Patrick O’Sullivan said, “We continue to grow our business, we are always looking for the right people to strengthen our team and build upon the expertise, talent and quality of service our clients have come to expect from us. Nick and Andrew’s extensive experience will be invaluable in helping trustees and sponsors navigate the increasingly complex investment decisions they must make, giving them full confidence that they are securing the best possible outcome for their members."
