Sandringham Financial Partner has appointed Tim Grey to the post of chief operating officer (COO).

Grey joined the firm in 2015 as compliance director and was appointed to the board in 2016. He will continue his role as chief compliance officer.

He has 15 years’ experience in the industry and previously held roles at SimplyBiz, Oval Financial Services and HMRC, as well as running his own consultancy business.

Tim Sargisson, chief executive at Sandringham, said: “Our need for a COO reflects the growing complexity of Sandringham as we expand both our partner numbers and our scope of services. Tim has been a key member of the team both in his role as compliance officer and on the board and I am confident in his ability to recognise and maximise the upcoming opportunities as we enter our next phase of growth.”

Grey added: “Sandringham has made impressive developments over the last few years under Tim Sargisson’s stewardship. I look forward to working more closely with the team to support the business as we continue to evolve and provide an enhanced service to our partners.”
