Tickell to Liontrust's Board of Directors and we know she will be a
great addition. Sophia brings extensive and valuable experience,
having worked with asset managers for more than 15 years as well as
non-financial companies and academic and charitable boards.
"Sophia will also add vast knowledge and insight to the Board
through her work and involvement with ESG (environmental, social
and corporate governance) as it concerns asset management and
sustainable investment. This is a key area of focus and expansion
for Liontrust following the completion of our acquisition of
Alliance Trust Investments in April 2017 and given our belief in
the growing importance of sustainability for consumers and
investors.
"I and the rest of the Board are looking forward to working with
Sophia and to her contribution to the further growth of Liontrust
over the coming years."
