Jones leaves Pink

It has been announced today that Tony Jones, managing director of Pink Home Loans, will be leaving the company. In the four and a half years he has been at Pink Tony has been living away from home during the week, which has impacted adversely on his family. He decided recently that he would seek employment next year within daily traveling distance of his home and these plans have been brought forward by a recurring bout of illness that he is currently experiencing.

Consequently, he has been in discussions with his employer and it has been agreed that he will leave the company with effect from Thursday 4 January. He plans to take a few months out to recharge his batteries before re-entering the business world in the spring, with a view to taking on consultancy and other related work.

Skipton Group would like to thank Tony for the significant contribution he has made to the company's development and for helping to put Pink on the map as a leading player in the intermediary mortgage and insurance sectors.

Tony Jones said, “I have enjoyed working at Pink and am proud of what we have achieved over the last few years. The company is a leading player in the intermediary mortgage and insurance sectors, distributing gross annual lending of over £5 billion, and we have established ourselves as one of the leading mortgage networks in the country. The icing on the cake was recently achieving top spot in the Financial Adviser Mortgage Service Awards for the second year running. From a personal viewpoint I'm now looking forward to taking a short time out before pursuing new opportunities.”
