I was very sorry to hear this news

My correspondence with her was always positive and working towards a better deal with those who weren’t getting a good deal. This was typical.

She sent me this when she was pensions manager at DMGT (the Daily Mail). She since ran Accenture and most recently MS Amlin. I first new her when she was at Old Bailey looking after Accenture.

My partner had a word for  her. Yvonne was to her “feisty” which is a great compliment in her language. Her husband Paul Cummins is a good man and we as a couple wish him well.

Reading the many obituaries left for her, I realise she was one of a generation of great pension managers we may never see again. We are most sorry that she did not have the retirement she helped so many to.
