Adviser network, Equity Release Associates (ERA), has made a pair of senior appointments.

Justin Wysocki takes the lead as CEO, and Ryan Mansell takes on the position of general manager.

Wysocki (pictured) said: “Having joined ERA last year, I’m delighted to take on the CEO role for the network as we look to change direction for 2023 and beyond. We already have a fantastic calibre of adviser who we’re excited to help develop their own businesses.

“We want to be known as a network for advisers who are keen to write a volume of business, help customers and share best practices with each other, and as an organisation we will provide all the support required to help advisers reach their objectives.

“Ryan was the obvious choice to take the helm as general manager, given his experience as an equity release adviser, trainer and leader. I’m looking forward to guiding Ryan and the team this year, as we help advisers to grow their own businesses by offering market leading toolkits and commissions.”

Mansell added: “I have been at ERA since it was established, and having worked as an independent equity release adviser, I see first-hand the huge benefits that come with being part of the network.

“Advisers within the network can take advantage of market leading technology, systems, administration and compliance skills, which not only benefits the advisers, but ultimately it enables advisers to enrich the lives of their clients.”
