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.”
