He joins from Tenet Group where he was a field compliance officer for almost eight years. Prior to that, he held roles at Ethical Futures, Capita and Openwork.

Kay Leslie, compliance director at HLPartnership, said: “I am delighted to welcome Norman to the team. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role which will prove to be very valuable to HLP members. His work will involve being on hand to guide HLP members in meeting current and future regulatory and legal requirements.

“Regulation and therefore compliance is never static. Norman’s strong background in fostering positive working relationships with network members will help ensure that they understand and adhere to HLP’s internal policies, whilst at the same time managing risk and helping advisers to continue to deliver great customer outcomes.”
