Paradigm has appointed four staff members to the newly-created role of business development director.
The four move to the new roles following the merger of the firm’s relationship manager and senior relationship manager roles.
Paradigm said the change reflects its commitment to ensuring its staff roles align with the group’s broader business objectives and allows it to maintain the highest level of service for its member firms.
The quartet include Sarah Blackwood, Michael Brown, Neil Jackson and Tom Hunt.
Blackwood covers member firms in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the North East of England; Brown covers London and the South East; Jackson covers the East Midlands, the East of England, North West and Wales; Hunt also covers London, as well as the West Midlands and the South West.
Paradigm said the new business development directors would now focus on driving strategic growth with new members, and nurturing and continuing to grow and help develop existing member businesses.
Richard Goppy, director of membership at Paradigm, said: “We are very pleased to be announcing, these four excellent individuals to our newly-created business development director positions.
“Each has proven since joining Paradigm they are excellent in their field and are committed to supporting individual member firms within their respective regions.
“This move from senior/relationship manager to business development director reflects the changing nature of intermediary support Paradigm is providing and allows us to stay at the forefront of the market, positioning the business to meet our growth objectives and support our members’ evolving needs.
“It also means we can continue to adapt to the market demands while delivering exceptional service to our firms.”
