The Pensions Infrastructure Platform (PiP), the infrastructure business developed by pension schemes for pension schemes, has announced the appointment of two new members of its growing team – Nick Cole as Investment Director and Angela Gyulveszy as Investor Relations Director.

Nick joins PiP from Aberdeen Asset Management having worked as an Investment Manager for Infrastructure Funds, active in new business development in the waste sector. He has over 12 years of experience in the infrastructure market – originating, structuring and managing both greenfield and brownfield projects across a variety of social infrastructure sectors in many different geographic locations.

Angela was previously responsible for business development, product development and marketing strategy at AXA REIM. She has a breadth of experience in alternative investments and developing client relationships and will be taking the lead in developing PiP’s fundraising efforts.

Mike Weston, Chief Executive, PiP, commented:

“We are delighted that Nick and Angela are joining PiP. The PiP Multi-Strategy Infrastructure Fund (MSIF) reached financial close on its first portfolio investment just over a month ago and with Nick and Angela on board we can continue to grow the fund and increasing our direct investment into UK infrastructure assets.”

Nick Cole, Investment Director, PiP, commented:

“I’m looking forward to joining PiP and helping the team build on the great successes they have already had this year. With so many opportunities in the infrastructure sector this is the perfect time to join an organisation like PiP which has the flexibility to invest across multiple infrastructure subsectors and at all points of the capital structure.”

Angela Gyulveszy, Investor Relations Director, PiP, commented:

“I’m keen to apply my skills at PiP and help the organisation continue to grow and develop. Given everything it has achieved so far in 2016 it is clear that PiP will be an exciting place to work – I can’t wait to join the team and get started.”
