WBR Group, the independent provider of SSAS administration and integrated professional services, has appointed Jenni Harland to director of SSAS operations and Abigail House as SSAS proposition manager.
Jenni joined WBR in July 2021 as pensions operations leader, bringing with her over nine years of SSAS experience, having previously held roles at Talbot and Muir and The Pensions Partnership.
Jenni has looked after a large portfolio of SSASs during her time at WBR Group and her knowledge has enabled her to deal with many cases of a complex nature, which has expanded her technical skills across all aspects of SSAS.
Since joining WBR, Jenni has risen through the ranks before her promotion to director of SSAS operations. In her new role, Jenni will manage WBR’s SSAS Pension Operations and New Business team.
Abigail joins WBR with over 15 years of experience within the financial services sector. She started her career at Lloyds TSB, before moving to HSBC and more recently Abigail was head of strategy & propositions at Alltrust.
Throughout her career, Abigail has collaborated with product, marketing, compliance, and transformation teams to align propositions with regulatory requirements, market trends, and evolving customer expectations. Abigail will be reporting to Caitlin Southall, director of SSAS transformation and proposition, continuing to strengthen WBR’s SSAS proposition.
Tom Moore, CEO, WBR Group, said: “We’re proud to welcome Abigail to the team and to see Jenni step into this well deserved leadership role. Their combined expertise and energy will be instrumental as we continue to scale our SSAS proposition and deliver the high standards of service and innovation our clients expect. These appointments reflect our ongoing investment in talent and our commitment to remaining the UK’s leading independent SSAS provider.”
Jenni Harland, director of SSAS operations, said: “It’s a privilege to take on this new role at such an exciting time for WBR Group. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside an exceptional team over the past four years, and I’m looking forward to leading our operations as we continue to grow, innovate, and deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients.”
Abigail House, SSAS proposition manager, said: “Joining WBR Group is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of its SSAS proposition. I’m eager to collaborate with the team to develop solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients and advisers, and to build on WBR’s strong reputation in the market.”
