Changes to the Trustee Board

As you will have seen in the President’s welcome, Ian Robertson retired from the Board on 30 April this year following 10 years as President. Before joining the Board, Ian served as Executive Vice President, Finance Downstream. He was appointed President of the Board in 2016, chairing the Trustee Boards of the Shell Overseas Contributory Pension Fund, the Shell International Pension Fund and the Shell Caribbean Retirement Fund.

Ian’s retirement marks the end of a long and distinguished association with Shell. We would like to thank Ian for his contribution and wish him well in retirement.

Frances Hinden is the new Board President. Frances is a member of both the SOCPF and SCPF and worked for Shell for more than 30 years in a broad range of senior finance roles including Group Treasurer, Managing Director of the Shell Asset Management Company and Head of UK Pensions.

We have two more changes to tell you about, as both Fiona Grandison and Peter Everson are to leave the Board at the end of the year. We thank them both for their dedicated service to the Fund and wish them well for the future.

We’ll introduce the new Board members in next year’s newsletter and on our website.
