 PPI Director, Niki Cleal, is to step-down as the Director of the Pensions Policy Institute around the time of the Institute's AGM on 5th June 2013, after seven years in the role.

 Niki Cleal, PPI Director said:-

 "I have thoroughly enjoyed being the Director of the Pensions Policy Institute and I have been incredibly fortunate to receive a huge amount of support over the years from the PPI's Chairmen, Council Members, Governors, Supporting Members and the staff of the PPI. I would like to thank all of the individuals and organisations that have supported the work of the PPI during my time as PPI Director."

 "I will retain an ongoing connection with the PPI as a Governor and I am confident that the PPI Council will appoint a successor who can successfully lead the organisation through the next phase of its development."

 Michael Pomery CVO, PPI Chairman of Council said:-

 "The PPI Council would like to thank Niki for successfully leading and managing the PPI over the last seven years. There is no doubt that, under Niki's excellent leadership, the PPI has developed and matured into a much more substantial organisation. The scope and quantity of the PPI's research has broadened while the quality of the research has been maintained and the PPI's income and the number of staff have all increased. More importantly, the reputation of the PPI within the pensions industry, the media and in Government circles has been greatly enhanced."

 "The PPI Council has already put in place a process to recruit a new Director and I am confident that we will be able to appoint a suitable successor."
