Home moving group Movera has appointed Glen Walker (pictured) as director of professional standards, as the company reinforces its focus on quality, compliance, and risk management.
Walker joins with over 20 years of experience in client-facing and risk-led roles across financial institutions and specialist firms.
His appointment forms part of Movera’s broader strategy to enhance its professional standards function and embed a proactive risk culture across the business.
Since joining, Walker has introduced a new risk management framework, deployed a modern risk management platform, and begun a full restructuring of the professional standards team to align with Movera’s growth ambitions.
Glen Walker said: “Movera is a business that’s genuinely open to change and improvement, which was one of the main reasons I joined.
“The culture here is collaborative, fast-paced and ready to embrace new ways of thinking.
“Professional standards is about more than compliance – it’s about setting the tone for how a business operates and supports its people and clients.
“We’re building a structure that’s fit for the future: clear roles, strong governance, smart use of technology, and a team that can scale with the business.
“I’m excited about what we can deliver—not just in terms of managing risk, but helping the business perform at its best.”
Walker is expanding the team, with recruitment underway for new roles across financial crime, client care, advisory, and technical support.
The professional standards function will play a central role in shaping Movera’s governance and delivering business resilience.
Craig Underwood, group chief operating officer at Movera, said: “Glen’s appointment is a significant step forward for us.
“He brings not only deep technical knowledge but a leadership style that’s grounded, people-focused and future-ready.
“The work he’s doing to build out the team and bring professional standards to life across the business will support our long-term growth and create exciting development opportunities for talent across Movera.”
Walker’s appointment follows a series of senior hires at Movera, as the company continues to expand its presence in the mortgage and legal sectors.
