The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has confirmed that its director of external affairs Graham Vidler is to leave the organisation after four years.
At the PLSA, Vidler has overseen the introduction of pension freedoms and the roll-out of automatic enrolment.
He has also been in charge of integrating the association’s policy and communications functions in a bid to help it stay ahead of the changes to the UK pension industry.
PLSA chief executive Julian Mund will take on Vidler’s role on an interim basis until a permanent replacement has been found.
Vidler (pictured) said about his departure: “The job of improving the nation’s retirement incomes is far from complete but I’m proud of the progress we’ve made over the past four years.
“I look forward in particular to seeing the results of our ground-breaking work on retirement income targets and DB scheme consolidation and I’m confident that I leave behind a great team who will continue to move these and other projects forward.”
Before joining the PLSA, Vidler spent more than five years as director of communications and engagement at NEST. He also spent two years as head of marketing at Aviva and as head of policy at Which? magazine.
