Fluent Money has recruited Mark Kilgannon as its new finance director.

Kilgannon joins the second charge distributor after more than seven years with On The Beach Group plc. As part of the online travel agent’s management team, he played a key role in helping facilitate a secondary buy-out by Inflexion from Living Bridge and the subsequent successful IPO in September 2015.

Kevin Hindley, Fluent Money’s chief executive officer, said: “Mark’s arrival is significant as Fluent Money sets its sights on expanding its offering to intermediaries.

“Working on the opportunities that have presented themselves in the wake of the inward investment from BTPE, securing the services of an FD of Mark’s calibre and experience will ensure that we build on the soundest of financial foundations.”

Kilgannon added: “Joining Fluent Money at this point in their development is an exciting challenge for me. I have been impressed with their story so far and look forward to making a significant contribution to the future success of the Group.”
