It is a great challenge and one which I am embracing wholeheartedly. There is enormous potential in the region and I am raising the bar of expectation; not only the level of professional service which we provide to our clients, but also the level of performance from the mortgage brokers in the region.”

He has proved himself to be a dedicated and highly successful member of the FS team and I am confident that he will surpass all expectations in his new role.”
