The UK's new £40bn public sector pensions mega-pool for the Midlands has appointed its first finance and operations chief as it puts in place its senior line-up.
The hire of former Baring Asset Management group chief operating officer John Burns at LGPS Central comes just over four months after it named Andrew Warwick-Thompson as its first CEO, and Joanne Segars — former chief executive of the UK's Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association— as chair.
