Connect IFA makes key leadership changes to drive growth

Connect IFA Ltd has made a number of key leadership appointments aimed at driving growth and enhancing support for its advisers and network members.

Kevin Thomson will assume the newly created role of corporate director.

In this role, Thomson will focus on expanding the appointed representative (AR) network whilst continuing to provide vital support to existing ARs through the dedicated field-based business relationship manager (BDM) team.

His leadership will be instrumental in ensuring the network proposition keeps evolving to support existing and new members.

As a result, Niall Hebron has been appointed as sales director.

In this capacity, Hebron will oversee the internal advisers, as well as the specialist placement and packaging teams, ensuring high levels of service delivery.

In addition, Jane Benjamin, director of mortgages, will now oversee all the lender relationships.

Liz Syms (pictured), CEO at Connect IFA Ltd, said: “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.”
