TMG Mortgage Network has appointed Bob Scott as sales and growth director.
Scott joins TMG from Movin Legal, where he has been group sales director for the last two and a half years.
He brings almost 30 years’ experience across financial services, having originally founding two regulated mortgage and protection networks, which were later followed by sales director roles with The Right Mortgage Network, Primis and First Complete.
In his new role, Scott will work closely with TMG’s appointed representative firms and advisers to help drive stronger performance, better business planning and more profitable growth.
TMG's goal following Scott's appointment is to help brokers increase profitability by at least 10% month-on-month, through better use of data, stronger sales support, improved cross-sell opportunities and a sharper focus on adviser development.
Scott Thorpe, CEO of TMG Mortgage Network, said: “Bob is a fantastic appointment for TMG and brings exactly the kind of experience, energy and industry knowledge we want around our members.
“We have invested heavily in technology, data and AI, and we will continue to lead from the front in those areas. But nothing replaces proper face to face support, real training, and sitting down with our members to understand their businesses.
“Tech can give you insight, but people turn that insight into action. Bob’s role is about getting closer to our firms, understanding where the opportunities are, and helping brokers build stronger, more profitable businesses.
“The challenge we have set is clear: help our firms increase both their value and profitability by at least 10% month-on-month by giving them more structure and more focused support.
“This appointment is another example of TMG investing in the people, tools and expertise our members need to grow.”
Bob Scott commented: “I am delighted to be joining TMG Mortgage Network at such an exciting time.
“TMG has built a strong reputation for doing things differently, backing its members and investing in the areas that genuinely help advisers grow.
“My focus will be on getting close to firms, understanding what support they need and helping them unlock more value from the opportunities already within their businesses.
“There is a huge amount of potential across the Network and I am looking forward to working with Scott and the wider team to help deliver the next phase of growth.”
John Ahmed, CEO of Movin Legal, added: “Bob has made a strong contribution during his time with Movin Legal and leaves with our very best wishes.
“Movin Legal and TMG Mortgage Network have a fantastic relationship, and Bob’s move will only strengthen that further.
“We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with TMG and supporting their advisers as the network continues to grow.”
Thorpe added: “This is a positive move for everyone involved. We have a brilliant relationship with Movin Legal and John Ahmed, and that will continue.
“Bob knows both businesses well, understands the broker market and shares our belief that strong partnerships can create real value for advisers.
“TMG is entering a new phase. We are building the infrastructure, people and support to become one of the leading mortgage networks in the UK, and appointments like this show the direction we are heading.”
