Yardley to step down as Royal London group chief exec
Royal London’s group chief executive Mike Yardley is planning to step down after 12 years as head of the firm.
Yardley plans to leave the company once the firm has found a suitable successor and Royal London said it has appointed a recruitment company to identify potential candidates.
“I am confident that Royal London is in an excellent position to continue to grow profitably for the benefit of our members and I believe this is an appropriate time to start the search for the person to lead the company in its next phase of development,” said Yardley.
“On leaving Royal London I hope to use my experience to help the life assurance and asset management industry tackle the many challenges ahead.”
