Financial Planning Today caught up with Personal Finance Society CEO Keith Richards about his impending departure from the professional body, how he sees the Financial Planning profession's state of health and his plans for the future.

The Personal Finance Society, the 40,000-member professional body for Financial Planners, is to drop the role of CEO following the departure in June of current CEO Keith Richards.

The Personal Finance Society is offering 100 free memberships for two years to people who have lost their jobs due to Covid-19 and want to retrain as professional Financial Planners. 

Hazel Bowen, chair of the Norfolk branch of the Personal Finance Society, has joined wealth manager and Financial Planning firm Tilney Smith & Williamson.
