Independent broking and underwriting group Santé Group has promoted Lee Pinnington to the board of its health and wellbeing business Nugent Santé as compliance director.
Pinnington’s promotion from compliance manager follows the recent board appointments of sales director Rob Rigby, and director of operations Alison Wignall.

“Since joining us in 2019, Lee has been instrumental in delivering class-leading compliance systems that ensure we provide a high-quality service.
“He’ll play an essential role in helping develop the Santé Group of businesses as we look to expand our footprint in the North before growing the company nationally.
