Colin Taylor, chief executive of Key Retirement Solutions, said: “KRS’s stated ambition is to become the trusted brand in financial services for the over-55s in the retirement segment and Tony’s experience and expertise will play a major role in delivering our plans.”
Kane said: “I had no intention of moving jobs but was immediately convinced by the energy and commitment at KRS to put the customer at the heart of everything they do.
“I firmly believe that the support the group has from its investment partner means it is ideally placed to grow and deliver for customers.”
