Senior duo partner up to offer advice.

Pensions Week, December, 2006

A consultant and pension manager have joined forces to launch an independent pensions advisory service specialising in scheme governance.

Avgi Gregory, a former director at Mercer Human Resource Consulting, and Barclays Bank's ex group pension director Mark Hodgkinson, have teamed up to create Muse Advisory, specialising in the management, governance and administration of medium and large-scale occupational pension funds.

"As a former pensions manager it was clear to me there were gaps in the advice marketplace. Muse Advisory will fill some of those gaps and present increased choice to those tasked with the demanding responsibility for managing occupational pension funds," Hodgkinson said.
