Professional Pensions is bringing back the Pensions Personality of the Year accolade as part of this year’s UK Pensions Awards – and we are asking you to nominate your favourites for the 2026 award by Friday 20 March.
The Pensions Personality of the Year award has been regularly featured in the UK Pensions Awards over the past 20 years – with past winners including industry luminaries such as Ruston Smith, Malcolm McLean, Margaret Snowdon, Ronnie Bowie and Baroness Ros Altmann.
The winner of this year's accolade will be the person who, in the eyes of the industry, has done the most to further the cause of occupational pensions over the past year.
To nominate a candidate for the accolade, send an email with ‘Pensions Personality' in the subject line to [email protected] by 5pm on 20 March.
The email should include:
- The name and job title of the person you want to nominate;
- A short citation of up to 140 words detailing what the nominee has done over the past year to deserve the award.
Any nominations that do not follow the above format will not be accepted.
After nominations close, we will conduct an industry-wide poll to create a shortlist of candidates. The final winner will be decided by the UK Pensions Awards judges.
Should you use twitter and wish to tweet about Pensions Personality of the Year 2026, the official hashtag is #PensionsPersonality2026.
The final winner of the Pensions Personality of the Year will be announced during the UK Pensions Awards presentation on 11 June.
