Positive Lending appoints compliance officer to head up team
Specialist packager and master-broker Positive Lending has appointed Alec Wimbleton (pictured) as compliance and business assurance director.

Wimbleton has previously worked in compliance roles for a number of banks and financial institutions, including Santander and Deloitte, and joined Positive in July 2014 as an account manager across all loan products.

“My experience of financial compliance is wide and long ranging”, said Wimbleton.

“Many years ago when I worked in branch review at Abbey, I enjoyed educating brokers on compliance; today I am working closely with Positive’s team to deliver a continuous compliance training programme.”

In his new role, he will be responsible for ensuring that Positive continues to comply with the FCA’s regulatory framework and reports to joint managing director, Paul McGonigle.

Managing director at Positive, Chris Fairfax, said that compliance is central to the company’s mission but that it is a complex area.

“What is most important is that you develop a compliance strategy which can be deployed, evidenced, monitored, reviewed and amended as your business grows and the regulatory landscape changes”, said Fairfax.  

“Positive has always maintained a compliant business but with Alec’s leadership we are in an even more robust position.”
