LGIM appoints UK retail sales head

Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has appointed James Crossley as head of UK retail sales.

Crossley joins from Jupiter where he was head of Retail Sales overseeing the UK retail distribution and the retail sales team.

Simon Hynes, who has been at LGIM since 2015, has recently moved to the newly created role of head of Retail Distribution, EMEA. He will focus on building LGIM’s wholesale distribution capability across Europe and growing LGIM’s ETF business, following the acquisition of the Canvas ETF platform earlier this year.

Both Crossley and Hynes report to Honor Solomon, head of Retail, EMEA.
