Paul held senior management roles during his career at Mercer before joining Premier Pensions Management and is ideally suited to lead our continued growth".

Paul Couchman said "I am delighted to be able to lead the Firm through the next phase of its development. We have been able to establish Premier Pensions Management as a sound business with rapid growth over the past 3.5 years. The business is continuing to win new clients and as we develop other services as well we are excited about the possibilities for the Firm".
