LSL FS has appointed former AMI chief executive Robert Sinclair as a non-executive director.
Sinclair (pictured) has more than two decades of experience across the mortgage and wider financial services sector.
He is best known for his leadership of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, where he served as chief executive from 2012 until March 2025.
During that period, he helped establish AMI as an independent organisation and led its work across regulatory engagement, policy development, member services and media relations.
Sinclair has also held several non-executive roles in the mutual sector, including at Darlington Building Society and Buckinghamshire Building Society, where he served on audit, risk, remuneration and nomination committees.
At LSL FS, Sinclair will support the board in promoting the long-term sustainable success of businesses within the group, including Primis, TMA and Linear.
His role will include providing constructive challenge and strategic guidance to the executive team, supporting governance and risk management, and contributing to the development of the organisation’s culture, values and stakeholder engagement.
Sinclair said: “LSL FS works with some of the most significant brands and voices within the intermediary market. I am pleased to be joining the Board at such an important time for our industry.
“Having spent many years working closely with intermediaries, lenders, regulators and policymakers, I look forward to bringing that experience to bear and supporting the continued growth and long-term development of the business.
“The market is evolving, and LSL FS and the businesses within the group are well placed to respond to changing regulatory expectations and customer needs while continuing to deliver the best possible outcomes for advisers and their customers.”
Darrell Evans, chair at LSL FS, added: “Robert brings extensive knowledge of the intermediary and mortgage market, together with 30 years of experience across governance, regulation and stakeholder engagement.
“His insight and understanding of our industry will be a valuable addition to the Board as we continue to focus on delivering long-term sustainable growth and supporting advisers and customers across our firms and networks.”
