Gareth Henty named Head of Pensions, PwC

PwC has announced the appointment of Gareth Henty as the new Head of Pensions and named Mark Jennings as head of the pensions employer covenant and restructuring team.

This move comes as PwC’s pensions practice has been through a period of growth and evolution, the firm stated.

Henty, a pensions actuary with more than 22 years of experience, has been with the company for 18 years having joined the company as a senior manager in 2006.

He then became a Director before being appointed Partner and Head of Pensions North in 2016.

Throughout his career Henty has advised trustees and scheme sponsors across the full range of pension issues, including all aspects of pensions strategy; funding and derisking; scheme governance and data solutions; and advisor and fiduciary management procurement.

Henty has also acted as a pension scheme trustee for a number of years, bringing first hand experience of how schemes make decisions through changing regulations and challenging markets.

Commenting on his appointment, Henty said: “I’m delighted to be taking over the leadership of our practice at an important time for the pensions industry, with the new government already outlining its commitment to ensuring pensions work effectively for scheme members.

“Our objectivity and ability to draw on the skills, breadth and technology from the wider firm makes us really well placed and agile for the challenge and opportunity ahead for the industry.”

PwC has also announced the appointment of Jennings as head of the pensions employer covenant and restructuring. Prior to this, the executive led the firm’s regional covenant practice.

Jennings has specialised in pensions for the last eight years, and has acted in respect of over 400 schemes.

Prior to his work in pensions, he had a corporate banking, corporate insolvency and restructuring background.

In his new role, Jennings will be taking over the largest specialised employer covenant team in the UK, with over 50 people based across eight offices.
