Powerlifting, Parrots and Pensions!

This year marks 20-20 Trustees 40th birthday. From humble beginnings to almost tripling in size since 2017, we’re meeting the team that help make the magic happen. First up, we say hello to Kerry Jones.


I am a Senior Trustee Consultant and I love it! The variety of my day to day work is fantastic and I get myself involved in all sorts. It’s hard work but rewarding all the same. I am also a member of the secretarial team which plays to my organisational and management skills.

Outside of work, I love powerlifting it’s an amazing feeling being strong! I’m also an Assistant Section Leader for the local cubs section, a member of Deeside Ladies Circle and a taxi driver to my son.

Top Gun Maverick was amazing – I’d go and watch it again and again! I’ve just finished watching Pieces of Her on Netflix, which was great too.

Growing up, I wanted to be a fire woman or a pole vaulter.

The last app I downloaded was PictureThis – To find out what I’m actually growing in my garden (turns out a lot of weeds, pretty weeds mind you!)

Our house is full of pets. We have 2 cats: Poppy (9 months young) and JD (16 years young) and Steve the very talkative African grey parrot who is 3 years old and a terrible toddler with wings at the moment!!

My first ever job was as a Papergirl – Pesky Sunday papers like thick books!

My motivations at work include being part of a fantastic team, helping clients and praise (who doesn’t like a pat on the back after a job well done).

My proudest moment at 20-20 Trustees was being nominated for a rising star award and taking part in a Professional Pension’s webinar about DC issues (that was scary but I managed it).

If I was to sum 20-20 Trustees up in three words: Hard-working, fun and brilliant!

I never thought I’d be in pensions! I’m a sports scientist, and my first pension job was as a team secretary on a temp contract; turns out I really enjoy this industry – 16 years later and I’m still here! No advice to my younger self really, just keep doing what you’re doing and know that everything will be alright in the end.
