Crystal Specialist Finance has appointed Neil Elvish as business development manager (BDM) for the South East.

Elvish joins from Select and Protect where he was a BDM for over 10 years.

Damien Druce, head of distribution and development at Crystal Specialist Finance, said: “The importance of the South East market to the financial world can never be understated, and to benefit from its ongoing expansion the right people need to be in place to maximise every opportunity.

“Neil’s experience, contacts and expertise speaks for itself.”

Elvish added: “We face an increasingly complicated and crowded market space so the challenge and rewards of going back to basics and never forgetting this is a people industry is fundamental to success.

“Add to the mixture our combination of exclusive and semi-exclusive products and we have an unrivalled offering.”
