“His appointment also follows closely on the heels of Joanna Purdy, who joined us as national compliance manager earlier this month. Both Joanna and Steve stand as testament to our continued investment in individuals with vast experience.”
Swyny said: “Having spent many years in financial services helping business owners choose a network and supporting them through that transition, I’ve seen first-hand how important that decision is for their long-term success.
“I’m looking forward to continuing that work as part of the Stonebridge recruitment team. It’s a great opportunity to contribute to a network that genuinely prioritises the needs of its firms and provides the right support to help them succeed. Stonebridge’s numbers speak for themselves.”
