The scheme was launched by the NACFB last April and is an evolution of its minimum standards review, which is a process that helps member brokers and illustrates their professional standards journey.

William Lloyd-Hayward (pictured), group chief operating officer at the Brightstar Group and managing director of Sirius Finance, commented: “We are delighted to have completed the NACFB Assurance consultation. This milestone reflects our team’s hard work and our commitment to excellence. It reinforces our position as a trusted financial partner.

“This is a truly collaborat[ive] approach [that] can only enhance the industry’s desire to continually raise standards for the benefit of customers. If your firm hasn’t considered this process yet, I recommend getting in touch with the NACFB team.”

Norman Chambers, NACFB’s managing director, said: “We’d like to thank the Brightstar team for their commitment to the process. We believe that NACFB Assurance status embodies the gold standard for intermediary professionalism.”
