Brunel Pension Partnership has confirmed that Sally Bridgeland is set to become the next chair of its board of directors, replacing Denise Le Gal, who has held the role since the pool’s inception.
Bridgeland will join Brunel’s board on 1 May and formally take over as chair in October. She joins the pool as an experienced actuary, currently working as chair of Impax Asset Management. Her role at Impax will end this summer as she takes on the new position at Brunel.
Prior to that, she has also gained experience as a trustee and non-executive director including as chair of Nest’s Investment Committee, and chair at Local Pensions Partnership Investments, the latter from its inception in 2015 to 2023. She currently serves on the Boards of two insurers, Pension Insurance Corporation and RSA, and as Chair at BelleVie Care.
Brunel CEO Laura Chappell commented on her appointment: “Sally offers multiple strengths as both a leader and a Board member. She benefits from exceptional experience across pensions and investment and has a strong track record in both responsible investment and stakeholder relations. I am delighted that our partnership has found such a strong candidate to provide guidance as Brunel enters the next chapter in our development, and I look forward to working closely with her.”
Sally Bridgeland added: “I’m delighted and honoured to be joining Brunel at such a crucial moment for pooling and pensions investment in the UK.”
