Nigel’s experience as a shipping solicitor and Conservative MP for Eastbourne formed the foundations of his present career, in having to understand the issues faced by the wider public and addressing them appropriately. His passion for age-related issues is also reflected in his previous position within the All Party Group for Older People at Westminster, where he was appointed and stood as Chairman.
As well as speaking and writing regularly on pension issues and ageing, Nigel is also the Chairman of NOW: Pensions, a recent addition to the UK market.
