Openwork has recruited Tracey Saunders to the role of regional recruitment manager.

She joins the business from Quilter where she was regional director from 2019 and will report to Stephen Wildgoose, recruitment and growth director.

Openwork attracted a further 559 new mortgage and protection advisers across its network last year.

It now has over 3,900 financial advisers operating across the UK.

John Cupis, mortgage director, said: “The record recruitment figures highlight the strength of Openwork’s proposition and quality of service, as well as our reputation as a progressive, profitable, and well managed network.

“It is a particularly exciting time for Openwork, and I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Tracey who along with Stephen will play a critical role in helping us achieve our recruitment ambitions as we continue to grow as a business.”

Saunders added: “I am delighted to have joined Openwork and look forward to continuing the success of the last few years. Openwork’s unique ownership scheme, innovative technology and competitive commercial framework will enable us as a business to attract an increasing number of mortgage and protection advisers.”
