She has significant practical experience in driving change, innovation and creating sustainable growth. I am confident Pretty will make an immediate contribution to Just with her pro-active approach, well-rounded leadership skills and her desire to help us to fulfil our purpose to help people achieve a better later life.”

It’s a purpose-driven company, focusing on helping people to achieve a better later life. The defined benefit business achieved record results in 2021, delivering new business of £1.9bn, up 28 per cent and I’m looking forward to leading the team to help more customers and to deliver sustainable growth in this highly attractive market.”
