Stevens to step down as ABDO head of CET

Head of CET at ABDO Paula Stevens has announced she will step down from her leadership role in June this year.

Stevens, who would take up a different role overseeing the distance learning aspect of ABDO CET, took the decision as she looks to reduce her hours in advance of full retirement in 2020.

Stevens joined ABDO as head of CET in 1999 and helped to set up the department which is now one of the largest providers of CET in the UK.

ABDO general secretary Sir Anthony Garrett said: ‘Paula Stevens has done a remarkable job for ABDO and more particularly its members. It would be impossible to accurately describe just how much we owe her for dedication, innovation and determination. I am delighted Paula will continue to work within the CET department to ensure a seamless handover over the next two years.’
