SimplyBiz Group launches streamlined service for compliance offering

SimplyBiz Group has launched a number of ‘Centres of Excellence’, a streamlined service focusing on particular areas of thegroup’s compliance offering.

These include policy, field services, helpdesks, complex and specialist areas and personalised consultancy.

Gary Kershaw, compliance director ofthe SimplyBiz Group, said: “Providing compliance and regulatory support for the firms who use our services is absolutely the most important thing that the Group does, and we will never stop developing and improving the services we offer in this area.

“Increasing regulation means that the burden upon advisers is growing all the time, and I don’t believe it will slow down at any point in the near future.

“Advisers need to be given the time to do what they do best; deliver high-quality, personal financial advice to their clients.

“In turn, they rely on us to do what we do best; help to relieve the regulatory burden through the provision of relevant, reliable and comprehensive support, delivered in plain English.

“The staff employed bythe SimplyBiz Group are amongst the best in the entire industry, and the compliance support and guidance we provide is market-leading.

“The introduction of the Centres of Excellence has honed the significant resources and expertise we have in order to offer advisers access to focussed, specialist support in a transparent and efficient manner.”

This follows directorships for existinggroup staff Mark Greenwood and Richard Nuttall at the end of 2018, and a role for the mortgage and lending market, with the promotion of Steven Howard.

Furthermore, Bankhall’s Paul Bruns was appointed to the newly created position of director of field compliance.
