Border to Coast has appointed Tim Manuel as its new head of responsible investment.
Manuel joins Border to Coast from Aon, a global professional services provider, where he has worked for 18 years, the past six years as head of responsible investment. He led a team of 20, helping Aon’s pension fund and other investor clients implement responsible investment strategies. The remainder of Manuel’s time at Aon was spent advising pension funds on funding and investments.
Manuel’s appointment follows the retirement of Jane Firth after six years at Border to Coast in a career with the LGPS spanning more than 40 years. She led Border to Coast’s responsible investment team from the outset, contributing hugely to responsible investment best practice for the benefit of its 11 partner funds, which operate open-end defined benefit pension schemes on behalf of around 3,100 employers, representing more than 1.1 million people, according to Border to Coast’s website.
