Openwork has announced the appointment of Sarah Rodway as regional recruitment manager.

She was previously sales and development manager at Tavistock Financial.

Rodway is tasked with bringing new appointed representatives (ARs) and advisers to Openwork.

She will report to Stephen Wildgoose, Openwork’s recruitment and growth director, who joined the network in July after more than 11 years at Sesame Bankhall Group.

Wildgoose said: “Openwork has a clear strategy for AR and adviser recruitment over the coming years. We are growing adviser numbers every month and receiving increased levels of enquiries from industry professionals seeking to join a successful and profitable network.

“Sarah’s strong experience in financial services recruitment will add great value to our expanding recruitment operation.”

Rodway said: “I am excited to be joining Openwork. A network with a member retention rate of circa 98% is one that offers clear value in its proposition as well as an appetite for growth and development.

“Openwork’s unique ownership structure, along with the strong support and well-defined direction provided by its senior management team, made the role highly attractive. I am very much looking forward to being part of the organisation as it continues to grow in an otherwise challenged market.”
