Equilibrium Financial Planning managing partner Gaynor Rigby is to leave the business this summer after 11 years with the Wilmslow-based firm.
Rigby's focus for the last few years had been developing Equilibrium's senior management team with the help of non-executive Chris Brindley. She described her exit as a "natural evolution" for the business.
Rigby joined the financial planning business in 2010. During that time staff levels have increased to 94 and assets under administration to £1.1bn.
She said: "Equilibrium's purpose is ‘making people's lives better'. That purpose is now clearly established in our culture, demonstrated by the team and experienced by every one of our clients. I am very proud of what I have accomplished during my time here. I hope that, when the time comes to leave, my legacy is that a little bit of my DNA will always be part of Equilibrium and that the team takes what we've done so far and uses it to make the next chapter bigger and better."
Non-executive director Brindley added: "Those who work with Gaynor know the energy and personality that she brings to her work, and we would like to thank her for her invaluable contribution and commitment to both the team here and to the business. Her DNA will certainly remain a part of the business long after her departure later this year."
In October, last year the firm became a signatory to the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment.
