The Money Group has announced Dave Corbett as its new recruitment and brand development director.

Corbett hails from Primis, where he worked as a regional sales director for three years.

He previous worked at Tenet Group as a regional business manager for just under a decade.

Before his stint at Tenet, Corbett worked as a recruitment director for Roland Dowell for three years.

In his new job, he will market existing TMG brands and help with local recruitment while working on the wider TMG proposition.

This is the first in what is set to be a series of senior hires, says TMG.

Group director and cofounder Martin Stewart says: “I have known [Dave] Corbett for a number of years and he was always someone we wanted to bring to help us scale up. He is highly thought of throughout the industry and we are delighted to bring him in to the management team.

“We could see that the way he interacted with people would fit perfectly with what we are all about – engaging regularly but with innovative content. Anyone who watches [Dave] Corbett’s introduction video which has been released today will get a flavour of what is coming their way this year.”

Corbett adds: “As soon as I heard all the plans that TMG have for the next couple of years I really felt the need to be involved. I was attracted to the energy and the belief that they have and the desire to drive change in themselves as well as the wider industry.

“This is where I feel I can bring huge value to not only their existing businesses but to other advisers who might be attracted to their directly authorised proposition. I also sense that whatever the future holds we will be having some fun along the way.”

Late last month, TMG stated that it was looking to raise at least £250,000 through the selling of business equity in a private placing.
