Tom was appointed interim MD of retirement in Autumn 2022 and before that was managing director of home finance.

His wealth of expertise and leadership, combined with a deep understanding of our markets and our industry, are a real asset in driving forward this important part of our business.

“Tom will play a vital role in our focus to continue understanding and meeting our customers’ evolving needs.”

Tom Evans commented: “It’s exciting to be leading the retirement division forward at a time of such significant opportunity for our business and customers. I’m looking forward to working with my team to build on the fantastic work done so far to maximise the opportunities that our individual annuity and home finance business units present.”
