"Mel brings a wealth of experience and skills to the company and will be familiar to many intermediaries who have dealt with her previously. Andy will bring much needed support to our network offering which continues to grow at a steady pace.

“Despite all the current doom and gloom in the market, thanks to the diversification transformation we undertook over a year ago from being a traditional packager to now also being able to offer satellite packaging, a direct club, BDS Secured Loans, BDS Commercial, BDS General Insurance and a life offering, we have not been hit as hard as most. In fact we are looking to buck the market trend and further strengthen our team in order expand our offerings even more.”
