Nigel Peaple joined LGPS Central as Director of Policy in  June 2025. He brings more than 25 years of experience in public policy and government relations across the public and private sectors in the field of pensions and investments. Many in the industry will know him based on the fact he most recently served as chief policy counsel, and prior to that director of policy and advocacy, at the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA). While there, he led the association’s work on pension investment issues and UK growth.

In this newly created role, Nigel leads LGPS Central’s work on public policy and external engagement. His remit includes building relationships with key stakeholders, including the Treasury and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and shape LGPS Central’s contribution to the future of the LGPS at a time of major change. The immediate focus will be supporting the company’s evolution as it responds to the government’s Fit for the Future reforms.
