The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has appointed Samantha Roe as compliance manager, bolstering its oversight and support for appointed representative (AR) firms.

Roe (main picture, inset) will act as a key point of contact for ARs across her region, overseeing training and competence, supporting regulatory adherence, and managing audits, file reviews and risk identification.

Her remit also includes coaching advisers, handling technical queries and escalations, and ensuring firms meet both internal standards and wider regulatory requirements.

The appointment adds further resource to TRM’s compliance function as networks continue to focus on supervision, outcomes and audit readiness in a more demanding regulatory environment.

Roe brings more than 25 years’ experience in financial services, most recently as regional compliance manager at HL Partnership Ltd, where she supported advisers across mortgages, protection and equity release. She has also held a dual compliance and adviser role at Mortgage Select (SW) Ltd, covering compliance oversight, T&C, complaints and AML.

SUPPORTING ADVISERS

Matt Hall, head of audit and supervision at TRM, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Samantha to the team and to introduce her to our member firms who she will be supporting in this role. Her appointment further strengthens our compliance function and reinforces our commitment to supporting advisers in delivering positive client outcomes.

“Samantha brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to high standards, and we are excited about the impact she will have across the business.”

Roe added: “I am delighted to be joining TRM as Compliance Manager. I look forward to working with firms across the network to support high standards of compliance and positive client outcomes.”
