UK. Pensions regulator director to leave for local government scheme

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) director Andrew Warwick-Thompson will leave his role to join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

Warwick-Thompson (pictured) has been executive director for regulatory policy at TPR since 2013.

In the role he is responsible for TPR’s policies on pension schemes, including master trusts.

Warwick-Thompson will become chief executive of LGPS Central in July, which administers defined benefit schemes for some local authorities in Midlands and the North West.

TPR is in the process of appointing a successor to Warwick-Thompson.

Lesley Titcomb, chief executive of TPR, said the regulator would continue to focus on protections for corporate pension scheme members.

‘We have a dedicated and expert team at TPR who will continue to shape policy which helps to protect members of workplace pension schemes,’ she said.
