Self-invested pension provider Hornbuckle has strengthened its team by appointing a new operations director and a property specialist.
Richard Valentine will join as operations director, while Bill Graham comes in as a property specialist.
Mr Valentine’s previous experience for over seven years was with IPS and James Hay, where he was most recently the managing director of its Bristol operation. He will be in charge of the core pension administration teams, including drawdown, investments and property.
Mr Graham was previously head of property management at Suffolk Life, where he was responsible for the overall management of its team managers and portfolio comprising over 2,900 commercial properties throughout the UK.
Phil Smith, chief executive of Hornbuckle, said: “Richard and Bill add to our investment in technical competence, knowledge and experience, alongside the investment we have made in our new technology.”
