Trustguard announces Principal status

Founder, David Cole, has become chief executive officer, John Pearson takes over as managing director, and former MCCB inspector Nick Battersby assumes the role of director of group compliance.

Trustguard is offering propositions for brokers seeking direct authorisation, appointed representative or introducer status.

Commenting on these changes, John Pearson said: “Our business has grown dramatically over the last few years, principally because of the high levels of personal service we have been able to deliver to our intermediaries.

“Our aim is to continue to support them and we are confident that our compliance and regulatory services will meet the needs of our brokers, whichever regulatory option they choose”.
