L&G’s Boulding to join TISA
Association strengthens its management team as it looks to enhance its position as a conduit between the industry, policy-makers and consumers
TISA – the financial services membership association – has announced that Adrian Boulding, currently Pensions Strategy Director at Legal and General, has been appointed as its Policy Strategy Director. Boulding will champion TISA’s thought leadership on savings and investment issues that impact on the industry, consumer and the UK economy. He will take up his new role in August.
The Association has also appointed Adam Hodgkins as Head of Engagement. Hodgkins has an extensive range of financial services experience and joins TISA from Cordium where he was Operations Director.
TISA has further strengthened its senior management team by promoting Steve Radford to Head of PR and Communications, while Sarah Knight will lead on Public Affairs.
The appointments follow a three month review by the new Director General, David Dalton-Brown, into how TISA can build on its unique position as the only genuinely pan-financial services organisation.
TISA has had increasing success in recent months and years’ making recommendations to policy-makers and limiting the unintended consequences of new legislation. The organisation is at the forefront of ISA development and it’s Savings and Investment Policy project, ‘TSIP’, has proposed six new policies to encourage more people to save and invest.
David Dalton-Brown, TISA Director General said:
“Adrian is well known for his expertise, insight and forthright manner on policy change, he is held in high regard by the industry, regulators and policy-makers and being able to attract him to join us represents a coup for TISA. Similarly, Adam’s senior level experience will be a huge benefit and I welcome him and congratulate Steve and Sarah on their new roles. Coupled with the existing TISA team, we are now stronger and better resourced than we have ever been.
Dalton-Brown continues, “Since becoming Director General I have focused on enhancing our policy development and thought leadership capability, strengthening membership relationships and building our external relations activity. These are vital areas that will help us to expand our influence, add more value to our members and, importantly, deliver on our core aim, which is to make it easier for UK consumers to save and invest.”

Notes for Editors
TISA is a not-for-profit membership association operating within the financial services industry. We represent the interests of over 145 member firms involved in the supply and distribution of savings and investment products and services.
TISA has a highly successful track record in working cooperatively with government, regulators, HMT, DWP and HMRC to improve the performance of the industry and the outcomes for consumers. Policy and regulation continues to be the major focus for our members with regard to corporate responsibility.
TISA and its members’ remit is evolving into a clearer focus on pro-active consultation in the regulatory world in order to influence policy and associated regulation before its creation, rather than reacting to issued policy directives. This will help to ensure a more considered policy creation from the authorities.
