Connect IFA has announced several key leadership appointments aimed at enhancing support for its advisers and network members.
Kevin Thomson will assume the newly created role of corporate director. Kevin will focus on expanding the appointed representative (AR) network whilst continuing to provide support to existing ARs through the dedicated field-based business relationship manager team.
As a result, Niall Hebron has been appointed as sales director, overseeing the internal advisers, as well as the specialist placement and packaging teams, ensuring high levels of service delivery.
In addition, Jane Benjamin (pictured), director of mortgages, will now oversee all the lender relationships, ensuring advisers have the visibility and access to lenders and providers across all the product areas through communications and events.
Liz Syms, CEO at Connect IFA, commented: “These leadership appointments reflect our commitment to providing outstanding support to all areas of our business. Kevin, Jane, and Niall each bring a wealth of experience and expertise that will enable us to strengthen our adviser network, enhance our lender relationships, and optimise our internal operations. We are confident that these changes will help us achieve our growth ambitions for 2025 and beyond.”
