Malcolm Mclean OBE is an independent pensions consultant and broadcaster with knowledge and experience of all aspects of the UK pensions system embracing state, occupational and personal pensions.

For over 13 years from January 1997 to April 2010, Malcolm was the Chief Executive of the Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS), a role which brought him much kudos and an enviable reputation for clarity of both thought and expressions during a period of great turbulence in the pensions world.

As regular listeners and viewers to programmes like Money Box Live and Working Lunch will testify, Malcolm has done much to demystify pensions and has probably helped thousands of people over the years to better understand and realise their pension rights.

Malcolm McLean is a recognised and much accomplished speaker at conferences and seminars and has written extensively about pensions and related topics in the trade press and nationally. He was recently the subject of a documentary made by German television comparing and contrasting the UK pensions system with that of the rest of continental Europe.
