Mr Moret, often called ‘Mr SIPP’, said: “I’m very pleased to join the Gaudi Board. They have a proposition which is different from that offered by conventional SIPP providers with a strong emphasis on technology-driven solutions, which is where I believe the future of the SIPP market lies. I hope my experience and knowledge can provide some help with their exciting growth plans.” Gaudi chairman Clifton Melvin said: “I know what excellent skills John Moret has and I’m pleased he has joined our board.” The second hire and joining as a new business consultant is David Thompson, former managing director of multi manager Architas and managing director of AXA Wealth’s platform Elevate, which grew assets from £300m to £11bn in five years. The third appointment is Robert Graves, who has 20 years of experience in the SIPP sector and joins as head of technical and compliance. He’s previously worked at SIPP provider PPM and Rowanmoor. Gaudi chairman Clifton Melvin said: “While there is so much news and activity surrounding SIPP and pension providers, we are in an enviable position that we can attract the best personnel and new clients due to our unique proposition.”
