The Brunel Pension Partnership chief executive officer, Dawn Turner, has announced her resignation.

Turner has worked with Brunel for four years but indicated that Brunel needs a “different style of leadership” to take the organisation forward. She also plans to step down from Brunel completely by the end of September to transition into her portfolio career. The Brunel board will begin their recruitment process for its next CEO “soon”.
