The statement added that Lynda Purser had been appointed as IOP interim CEO last year "to develop the Institute and move it on". It continued: "The Institute has achieved a great deal during this time and is well placed to move forward its membership, education and development and qualifications activities."
Gordon Stewart, IOP head of development services, has taken responsibility for all Institute activities as general manager with immediate effect. Stewart says the Institute's trustees will determine whether and when to appoint another full-time ceo by year end.
