BESTrustees has announced its fifth professional trustee recruit in the last three months – and the first of 2025 – with the arrival of Sanjay Gupta. His recruitment follows the recent arrivals of Alison Creasy, Sue Hunter, Russell Baird and Peter Redhead.
Sanjay joins BESTrustees after a 35-year career as a consulting actuary, the last 25 of those as a Senior Director at WTW, where he held several scheme actuary appointments on pension schemes ranging from assets of £100m to over £1bn.
Sanjay’s professional experience covers both DB and DC schemes, advising both trustees and employers, which gives him an appreciation of regulatory and corporate points of view. His key specialisms are scheme funding and preparing schemes for Risk Transfers, where he has significant experience.
“We are beginning 2025 in the same way we ended 2024: sustainable growth. Last year was a wonderful year for us, with five trustees joining since the end of the summer. That recruitment was to service new scheme appointments and the increasing demand for truly independent experts, so Sanjay joins us at an exciting time. His reputation will only add to what BESTrustees offers the market.”
Ann Rigby, Chair of BESTrustees
“I am very excited to be joining BESTrustees at a time when so much is going on in pensions trusteeship. And I am delighted that after 35 years as a consultant, I will be able to use my experience to help maintain and improve outcomes for scheme members.”
