The specialist self-invested personal pension (SIPP) self-administered pension scheme (SSAS) provider comes as it aims to expand its presence across the UK. He will work alongside Stephen Gilligan and Sam Davidson.

Mr Randell brings more than 35 years’ experience in the UK financial services industry, including more than 25 years specialising in bespoke pension. He joins Yorsipp with extensive experience across SIPP and SSAS administration, commercial property transactions and complex retirement planning. 

Yorsipp provides a range of bespoke SIPP and SSAS arrangements designed to accommodate a wide variety of investment and retirement income strategies. Its approach is centred on flexibility and working closely with advisers to find solutions that meet individual client requirements.

Mr Randell said: “I’m delighted to be joining Yorsipp at such an exciting stage of its growth. There is a real opportunity to build on the relationships Yorsipp already has across the UK while developing new strategic partnerships with advisers, DFMs and professional introducers.

“What particularly attracted me to Yorsipp is its flexible, bespoke approach. Advisers increasingly need pension solutions that can accommodate different investment strategies and complex client circumstances, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

“I’m looking forward to working with Stephen, Sam and the wider team to build on Yorsipp’s strong foundations and support its continued growth across the UK.”

Kirsty Gallagher, Yorsipp’s managing director added: “Mark brings a huge amount of experience and knowledge to the team, as well as an excellent understanding of what advisers need from a specialist SIPP and SSAS provider.

“We have ambitious plans for Yorsipp and are focused on continuing to build our presence across the UK. It’s very much a team effort, and Mark’s experience will be a valuable addition as we develop new relationships and strengthen existing ones.

“We want to be a trusted partner for advisers, particularly where clients have more complex requirements around commercial property, IHT planning, accumulation and retirement income. Mark will play an important role in helping us achieve that.”
