The appointment of Simon Brown as director of compliance and training and Carrie Stephenson as director of legal and governance, is in line with the firm’s strategy of continuing to respond to client feedback and providing an offering that meets their demands, the business said.
Brown will shortly be launching Auxillias’ compliance offering to work alongside its legal team by supporting the ongoing demand for compliance in the consumer credit and asset/motor finance sector. The team is seeing ongoing growth in instructions to support clients to help them respond to the ongoing compliance work off the back of the findings of the FCA’s motor finance market study.
He will also further develop Auxillias’ training offering so more clients will be able to access high-quality training materials via different channels and demonstrate the competence of their staff to the regulator.
