Norton Group has appointed Emma-Jayne Savory as its new head of risk and compliance, as part of its ongoing growth plan.
Savory joins Norton Group with over 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector, having held senior roles at TMG Mortgage Network and Mortgage Advice Bureau.
Her career has focused on supervision, field operations and compliance oversight, giving her a broad understanding of risk management within advisory environments.
In her new role, Savory will lead the group’s risk and compliance function across its secured and unsecured lending divisions and mortgage broking services.
She will work closely with the executive team to ensure Norton’s controls and culture evolve in line with regulatory expectations, while continuing to prioritise fair treatment of customers and practical support for brokers.
This latest appointment follows Norton’s decision to bring in Amy Husband as head of operations in June, as part of a wider focus on refining internal processes and delivering a more responsive, reliable service.
Paul Stringer, co-CEO at Norton Group, said: “Risk and compliance play a vital role in any financial services business, but especially in one with Norton’s reach and heritage. We’ve always taken our responsibilities seriously, and Emma-Jayne’s appointment marks a clear step in strengthening that area of our business.
“Emma-Jayne’s track record speaks for itself, and she brings strong leadership, sound judgement and a calm, methodical approach that fits well with our values. I have every confidence she’ll help us continue to build a stable foundation for the next phase of growth.”
Savory added: “I’m delighted to be joining Norton Group as Head of Risk and Compliance at such an important time for the business.
“Norton has a strong reputation for putting customers first, and I look forward to building on that by ensuring our risk and compliance framework continues to support sustainable growth, regulatory confidence and positive customer outcomes.
“The financial services industry is evolving quickly, and my priority will be to work collaboratively across the Group to embed a culture where risk management and compliance are not just safeguards, but enablers of long-term success.”
