Jonathan Lochery - Sales Director

Jonathan was a member of the original IPM staff following the establishment of the company in 1999. He studied Economics and Politics at the University of Leeds. After graduating in 1989 he started his career in pensions with a number of UK insurance companies providing technical sales solutions to the IFA market, predominately in the city of London and surrounding counties. In early 1999 Jonathan joined Rea Brothers to promote their SIPP offering and this employment continued with IPM after the sale of the business. With IPM, Jonathan was tasked solely with expanding the existing client base to firms nationwide who could benefit from the expertise offered by a truly bespoke SIPP provider. Jonathan’s technical knowledge on the pension industry has been fundamental in IPM’s growth and he is regularly asked to present at regional seminars or provide comment in the industry media.

James Randall - Sales Executive

James has been with IPM since early 2002, originally as a junior administrator. Since this time James has worked in all areas of SIPP administration. He developed procedures for processing the new business, an area which he particularly enjoyed as this was a more client facing role. In 2006 he moved over to the sales and marketing side of the business to develop existing relationships with intermediaries and clients. Aside from sales James was also instrumental in the development of the website and continues to work on the online facility, due to be launched later this year.  He is responsible for the production of all company literature.
