Clair Gemmell
Director and Actuary
After working with a global insurance brand in Edinburgh and qualifying as a Fellow of the Faculty of Actuaries in the late 1980s, Clair moved to the South-East of England to deliver pensions consultancy and employee benefit support to clients.
Clair then spent over 10 years working with a large employee benefits consultancy, becoming their most senior actuary in the South East. Her role included providing actuarial and consultancy support to clients on both defined benefit schemes and insured pension arrangements (such as Group Personal Pensions).
To be able to provide advice to her clients across the wide range of their employee benefit arrangements, Clair also obtained advanced qualifications on insured products and individual advice in the 1990s. Clair launched Gemmells in 2007, with her husband (also an actuary), to offer clients high-quality, tailored actuarial and investment consultancy solutions, cost-effectively. The business has grown steadily since, primarily through referrals from existing clients.
Clair provides a full range of support to employers and trustees, and holds a professional practising certificate as Scheme Actuary. She has extensive pensions experience which includes scheme mergers and sale/acquisition work. Clair also led one of the UK’s first successful “Enhanced Transfer Value” liability reduction exercises.
Clair is dedicated to ensuring her clients needs are met, and clients welcome her ability to express complex matters simply and to build strong relationships (with Clair having supported many of her clients for almost 20 years).
Clair’s main interests outside work are family-related, with a teenage daughter who loves swimming, a son who is an accomplished tennis player and a husband who has represented the UK in chess.
