Connect for Intermediaries has hired Tom White as its new relationship manager in the South of England, as the mortgage and insurance network looks to expand its business.   

White will work with appointed representatives and brokers using the firm’s packaging and referral services.  

The network says White, who has worked in the sector for eight years, joins from Assured Financial Group, and has also held posts at Dynamo and Neilson Place.  

It adds that the appointment comes at a time when the group plans to “expand its operations and provide even higher levels of service to its clients”.  

Connect for Intermediaries head of intermediary relationships Emma Roberts says: “Tom’s wealth of experience as a broker himself puts him in an ideal position to support our network members, particularly in areas of education and growth.”  

White adds: “Connect has an impressive reputation in the sector, and I am looking forward to using my experience to support our brokers and contribute to the company’s ongoing growth.”
