Local Pensions Partnership has named Alan Schofield as non-executive director of the board.

Schofield will serve as non-executive director of the board of the Local Pensions Partnership representing the shareholder Lancashire County Council. He will be one of two shareholder non-executive directors on the board and will also serve as a member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Schofield was elected to the Lancashire County Council in 2013 and re-elected earlier this year. He is the deputy chair of the Pension Fund Committee at Lancashire County Council and also chair of the Lancashire County Council’s Audit and Governance Committee, a trustee director of a citizens advice bureau and a parish councillor.

Before this, Schofield held a number of senior financial management roles in the water services industry and worked for almost two decades at a number of local authorities in the North West. He retired in 2011.

He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.

LPP chair, Michael O’Higgins, said: “Alan brings a wealth of insight and experience to the LPP Board, adding to the depth and breadth of expertise at our disposal. He played a significant role in ensuring the successful launch of LPP, and his experience in wider financial management, and in local authority finances in particular, will be a valuable asset to the LPP, its shareholders and investors.”

Schofield added: "I am pleased to join the LPP organisation and other directors, in my shareholder representative NED role, at this interesting time of transition and consolidation. I look forward to helping in that role and contributing to the future growth of the organisation.”
