Phoenix Group has appointment Tim Fassam as public affairs director.

Fassam, who will join the firm at the end of August, left Pimfa last month after being director of government relations for two years.

Prior to Pimfa he worked for TheCityUK as managing director, public affairs, policy and research and helped launch the Financial Services Skills Commission. 

Phoenix Group’s director of corporate affairs and investor relations, Claire Hawkins said that Fassam brings significant experience and understanding of the UK political landscape and the financial services sector to the business alongside a "proven track record of success in advocating for businesses and their customers". 

“His arrival will further strengthen Phoenix Group’s already significant engagement with government and policy-makers, as we seek to drive change that protects and benefits consumers in the context of all of us living longer lives,” she said. 

Fassam started his career at Barclays, before moving to Prudential for 10 years, ending his tenure there as UK public affairs director and head of the group chair’s office.

Commenting on his new role, Fassam said it was a privilege and honour to join the Phoenix team. 

He said:“Phoenix Group’s scale and role in helping millions of savers, its strong values and its desire to respond to the challenges and benefits of people’s longer lives make it a key voice on a wide range of policy issues. I’m really looking forward to working with their fantastic team to grasp this opportunity.”
