Pensions expert Andrew Tully has joined adviser platform Nucleus as technical services director.
In his new role Tully will be responsible for the analysis and interpretation of regulation, legislation and taxation issues.
The team he will work in at Nucleus create white papers, run masterclasses, and generally help advisers to resolve technical issues and challenges so they can deliver better outcomes for their clients.
Tully will also have a particular focus on helping shape Nucleus’s retirement propositions, working with industry groups and lobbying regulators and government.
He will join the business this week (September 29) and will take over the responsibilities of Neil MacGillivray, who is retiring as head of the technical support unit after a 25 year career with James Hay before it bought Nucleus.
Chris Williams, proposition director at Nucleus, said: “We welcome Andrew to Nucleus and are thrilled to have attracted a true industry heavy-hitter to our growing team. He has an impressive track record of championing the retirement causes of interest to advisers and their clients, and is one of the best known and most respected pensions names in the industry.
“He’ll also help us shape our retirement proposition, ensuring that our priorities are aligned with those of advisers and that we support them in every way we can to help their customers plan for retirement.”
Tully was most recently technical director at Canada Life but was made redundant in July after the business’ UK division underwent a reorganisation as part of its modernisation programme which resulted in some job losses.
He had been at Canada Life for almost five years and has more than 34 years’ experience within pensions and retirement from a number of large providers, such as Standard Life (now Abrdn) and Retirement Advantage.
Tully said: “I’m delighted to be joining Nucleus at this exciting time in the platform’s evolution, as it cements its position as a scale player in the industry with a very clear purpose to help make retirement more rewarding.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to play my part in helping to build the best retirement platform for advisers and their clients, and to improve understanding of pensions so that more people can look forward to a secure and rewarding future.”
