Tony Filbin, head of workplace savings at Legal & General, nearly didn’t join the pensions industry. When he first joined the company, fresh from Hull University in 1979, he thought he was attending an interview for the firm’s general insurance business. Three decades later, Filbin is in charge of one of the largest and fastest-growing pensions businesses in the UK.

He said: "I consider myself very fortunate to be where I am. Pensions is such a fascinating area, it's changing all the time, it's a huge issue facing society and, at L&G, we genuinely do try to be a force for good."
