The Right Mortgage & Protection Network and The Right DA Club has announced the appointment of a new national account manager working across both propositions.

Mark Gould starts the role with immediate effect, working with the account management team and reporting to Amanda Wilson, Director of The Right Mortgage.

Gould (pictured) will be working to bring on board new member firms for both the network and the DA club, supporting existing firms, and working on training requirements for The Right Mortgage and individual member firms.

Gould has worked in financial services for over 30 years in a variety of business development and recruitment roles including Openwork, Quilter, 2plan Wealth Management and most recently as Adviser Recruitment Director at AFH Wealth Management.

Amanda Wilson, director of The Right Mortgage, said: “national account manager is a vitally important position within the business and we’re very pleased to announce the appointment of Mark, who is fully immersed in our sector and has worked across a wide number of organisations and roles, focused on delivering quality to the adviser community.

“Mark brings a wealth of experience to this role and will be working on providing all the necessary support to our existing AR and DA firms, to ensure they get the most out of the opportunities we offer, and highlighting the strength of our proposition to other advisers and firms who are seeking a quality proposition.”

Gould added: “Having been in the financial services industry for over 30 years, it’s fair to say I have seen many changes in the industry, having been directly involved in the network and distribution space for 20 of those. I have worked with many large- and medium-sized distributors and networks having built and grown the firms through recruitment and development.

“It’s a pleasure to be working with a business such as The Right Mortgage, that positions itself firmly in the mortgage advisory space and focuses on allowing firms to trade with the model that best suits them, providing all the support and guidance they need to ensure success.

“It’s exciting times for The Right Mortgage as we move towards 1,000 advisers and I’m personally looking forward to attracting good quality firms and advisers into the network and the club.”
