Paradigm has appointed Michael Brown as a new senior relationship manager.

Brown comes from Skipton, where he worked as a business development manager in London.

Previous to that, he worked a Mortgage Advice Bureau and, before that, for the Post Office.

In his new role, Brown will be charged with looking after existing and forming new relationships in London and the South East.

He will report to Paradigm director of membership Richard Goppy, who says: “I was keen to bring in someone who is very well-respected by the advisory community already, and Michael’s experience is exactly what is needed to support our member firms in London and the South East.

“Plus, he will also support our recruitment strategy in bringing new members to Paradigm.”

Brown adds: “I very pleased to be taking up this new role with Paradigm… [the firm] is a key part of the intermediary distribution landscape and I’m looking forward to working with both new and existing members to help them develop and grow in what is an exciting mortgage and protection market.”
