New head for PPI

The Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) has appointed a new director. The pensions research and education body announced that Chris Curry will replace current director Niki Cleal, who will step down in June.

PPI chairman Mike Pomery welcomed the appointment: “PPI Council are confident that he has the vision and experience to lead the PPI, building on the success of his predecessors in the role.”

Curry has been PPI research director for 11 years. He said: “With the UK pension system currently in transition, the need for a sound evidence base is as strong as ever, and I look forward to leading the PPI as we continue to provide high quality and independent research and analysis.”

The PPI was set up in 2001 after members of the Pension Provision Group tasked by the government to assess likely trends in pensions provision found widespread ignorance and lack of understanding around retirement issues.
