Singh and Philips to leave Broker Conveyancing following earn-out

Published on

Broker Conveyancing’s management team is changing following the end of the earn-out period with its former owners.

Conveyancing Alliance Limited (CAL), which includes the Broker Conveyancing and Agency Convey brands, will have a new management team from the end of this month.

In 2016 CAL was bought by ULS Technology plc and directors’ Harpal Singh and John Philips will step down as executive directors on 31 March following the end of the earn-out period. They will however be working with the new management team in non-executive roles.

Mark Snape takes over the role of managing director of CAL and will form a new management team with Keith Young who has been promoted to the role of sales director.

Singh (pictured) said: “This was a day we knew would come but still feels slightly surreal for John and I to be leaving a business we have built up over the past decade. It has been a real labour of love and we cannot thank enough all those who have used the proposition, our conveyancing firms and those that have contributed so much to delivering a highly successful business.

“We exit stage left knowing that this is a business that is in highly capable hands, that it remains business as usual, but also that Mark and the team will drive it forward, offer plenty more to both new and existing users and continue to offer an incredible quality of service. We will continue to be involved with the business on a non-executive basis.”

Snape added: “This has been a smooth handover for all concerned and I’ve been given time to learn all about how this fantastic business is run, the strong relationships it has, and the users that come back to it, day-in, day-out.

“Taking on this role has always been about ensuring the proposition continues to deliver all it has under Harpal and John. I have experience in a large number of adviser/agent-facing roles and our focus as a conveyancing distributor will be on the solicitors and conveyancers we are partnered with and ensuring the quality of service is maintained to our end-users. It’s an exciting time for CAL and Broker Conveyancing.

“I’d like to give my thanks to Harpal and John for their guidance and support over the last six months in particular.”
