April 2025

Steve Donkin, one of Procentia’s four founding members, has announced his retirement from the award-winning pensions software and technology company.

Steve will leave his role as Chief Growth Officer at Procentia on 30 April 2025, but will continue to be involved as a Non-Executive Director and Board member.

A well-known personality in the pensions sector, Steve leaves behind a considerable legacy. Since co-founding the business in 2002, he’s been a driving force behind Procentia’s growth and product development over the past 23 years.

Steve previously held the role of CEO until 2023, when he handed the reins to Liam McGrath, allowing him to focus on client relations and new business as Chief Growth Officer and Board member.

Steve says:

“This year marks my 40th year in pension software, and it’s time to test the adage that once you’re in pensions it’s impossible to leave.

“My career has been a wonderful journey. In 1985, I started as a COBOL computer programmer for UPS (later Edis Partnerships) and have since worked for several other pension software firms.

“The pinnacle has undoubtedly been the co-creation of Procentia. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with some exceptionally talented and fun people who have made the business the success it is today.

“While I’ll be very sad to say goodbye, I’m delighted that I can continue to support Procentia’s growth through my non-executive position on the Board.”

Liam McGrath, Procentia’s Group CEO, says:

“With his extensive experience, deep knowledge of the pensions industry, and 23 years’ commitment to Procentia, Steve will be greatly missed as a full-time executive. I’m delighted that he’s accepted a non-executive role on our Board so we continue to benefit from his expertise ensuring continuity and ongoing success for our business and clients.”
