TMG Mortgage Network has appointed Bob Scott (pictured) as sales and growth director, bringing in fresh leadership as the network continues its focus on adviser growth, profitability and hands-on member support.
Scott joins from Movin Legal, where he was group sales director for two and a half years.
He has nearly 30 years’ experience in financial services and previously founded two regulated mortgage and protection networks.
Scott has also held sales director roles at the right mortgage network, Primis and First Complete.
In his new role, Scott will work closely with TMG’s appointed representative firms and advisers.
His goal is to help improve performance, support better business planning and increase profitability for firms and across the network.
Scott said: “I am delighted to be joining TMG Mortgage Network at such an exciting time.
“TMG has built a strong reputation for doing things differently, backing its members and investing in the areas that genuinely help advisers grow.
“My focus will be on getting close to firms, understanding what support they need and helping them unlock more value from the opportunities already within their businesses.”
Scott added: “There is a huge amount of potential across the network and I am looking forward to working with Scott and the wider team to help deliver the next phase of growth.”
Scott Thorpe, CEO of TMG, said: “Bob is a fantastic appointment for TMG and brings exactly the kind of experience, energy and industry knowledge we want around our members.
“We have invested heavily in technology, data and AI, and we will continue to lead from the front in those areas.
“But nothing replaces proper face to face support, real training, and sitting down with our members to understand their businesses.”
Thorpe added: “Tech can give you insight, but people turn that insight into action.
“Bob’s role is about getting closer to our firms, understanding where the opportunities are, and helping brokers build stronger, more profitable businesses.
“The challenge we have set is clear: help our firms increase both their value and profitability by at least 10% month on month by giving them more structure and more focused support.”
He said: “This appointment is another example of TMG investing in the people, tools and expertise our members need to grow.”
John Ahmed, CEO of Movin Legal, said: “Bob has made a strong contribution during his time with Movin Legal and leaves with our very best wishes.
“Movin Legal and TMG Mortgage Network have a great relationship, and Bob’s move will only strengthen that further.
“We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with TMG and supporting their advisers as the network continues to grow.”
