LSL Financial Services appoints chief operating officer

Published on

Martin Taphouse has been appointed as chief operating officer of LSL Financial Services.

Taphouse (pictured) starts his new role on 10 March 2025.

He joins LSL from insurer, Zurich, where, for the last four years, he was Head of Business Transformation and was responsible for change, commercial performance and strategy.

Previously Taphouse was instrumental in developing, launching and running Zurich’s wealth business where he led broker support and customer operations, building a technology and service model which was recognised as the best in the market by advisers, and the fastest growing new wealth platform.

Richard Howells, LSL Group’s managing director, financial services, said: “I am delighted to welcome Martin to the team. Having worked with him previously I know what experience he brings to the role and the passion he has for delivering operational excellence, leadership, and relationship management.

“He has a formidable track record when it comes to delivering market leading propositions for advisers.”

Taphouse added: “I’m hugely excited to be joining the LSL team in such a dynamic and well respected business, and looking forward to working with our teams and colleagues to drive execution of the group’s ambitious strategy, and ensure we offer an outstanding proposition for our brokers.”
