Richard Cook, CEO of Blackfinch Group, said: “We’re delighted to have Mark on board at such an important time for Blackfinch.
“His extensive experience, particularly in the managed portfolio space and his success in building strong, trusted relationships with advisers, will be key to driving our next phase of growth.
