Tenet Group has welcomed Ben Wright into the new role of head of technical services and research.

Wright (pictured), who has chartered status, was previously with HSBC where he was an area premier relationship manager.

In his new role, he has responsibility for the financial planning consultancy, technical helpdesk, research and the para-planning and referral services, with oversight on panel management.

Wright said: “I am looking forward to helping to further develop Tenet’s proposition and supporting advisers in utilising their many skills.

“I was attracted to the choice and diversity within Tenet’s proposition, with their commitment to independent advice as well as continuing to work with advisers who have chosen to move to a restricted investment service.”

Gill Davidson, group regulatory director, said: “We are pleased to welcome Ben in to the team, where I believe his experience and energy as an adviser will support our members in delivering consumer led outcomes.”
