Steve Mingle, group pensions director for the £3.2 billion Diageo PLC pension scheme, Edinburgh, is leaving at year end. He said he was leaving because his job did not provide "the same sort of stimulation that was there when we were doing the merger.” He says he is not sure what he will do next but he expects to stay in the finance industry. Diageo is looking to replace him, he added.
