Lifetime Connect CEO, Paul Merrigan, said: “I’ve worked with Steve for many years, and we’ve made great progress in driving Lifetime Connect forward during difficult times. We wish him well and look forward to continuing to work with him as we strengthen our strategic partnership with Quilter.
“I’m also excited to welcome Dom Scott into the business. Dom’s a leading figure in the mortgage and protection industry who will help ensure we continue our growth journey.”
Scott added: “I’m excited to be joining the Lifetime Group and play an integral role in such a dynamic, forward-thinking business. I’ve known Paul Merrigan and Steve Fryett for many years and I’m looking forward to delivering our ambitious growth plans alongside a first-class management team, who are committed to delivering excellent service standards across mortgages, protection, and financial planning.
“Joining the board of 360 Dotnet, who transacted £37bn of lending in 2021, will ensure these growth aspirations are underpinned by market leading technology solutions.”
Fryett said that he had really enjoyed working closely with Merrigan and the management team at Lifetime Connect for the last three years, as well as the advisers and business principals of the Connect members.
He added: “Navigating the business through the pandemic and the various lockdowns that followed has been challenging, but we continued to grow, and the business is in a strong position on which to build. I know I leave Connect in safe hands with the appointment of Dom Scott.
“I’m looking forward to getting started with Quilter Financial Planning and working with the management team to create an environment where advisers can thrive. Lifetime Connect is an important part of this plan and I look forward to continuing to build the strategic relationship between the two companies.”
