Xafinity Group, the specialist in pensions actuarial, consulting and admin services, has recruited Dave Hodges as head of the National Pension Trust from Zurich.

At Zurich he was director of client relations and servicing. He has more than 32 years’ experience in financial services, covering a broad range of UK and International roles.  His pension scheme experience includes many large UK DC pension schemes.

The company says his knowledge of client services and workplace engagement will enable him to further develop Xafinity’s Mastertrust proposition.

Mr Hodges started his career at Zurich in 1984 and over the last 32 years has held a number of roles, including as founding executive of the Zurich Corporate Savings Business.  He was also involved in the setting up and running of Zurich’s IGC, the Zurich Mastertrust and strategic partnerships.

Ben Bramhall, co-CEO of Xafinity plc said: “Dave has a huge amount of experience in client services, member engagement and distribution partnerships, which will be a great asset to the National Pension Trust team and the wider Xafinity Group.  His strategic thinking and focus on clients and markets will help drive the development of the Mastertrust.”



Mr Hodges, head of the National Pension Trust at Xafinity plc said: “Having spent over 32 years at Zurich, choosing where to start the next stage of my career wasn’t going to be an easy decision. However, having seen the developments that Xafinity has made driving the business forward, it was an obvious move for me.  I am excited to be part of their future growth and that of the National Pension Trust.”
