Finance 4 Business has promoted Dave Pinnington to Chief Executive, indicating that additional changes will be made shortly.

Pinnington (picture on the left) joined the sales and consulting company in 2017 as head of brokerage relations and takes on the position of CEO with immediate effect.

Russell Martin (pictured right), who founded the company in 2009 and was previously Managing Director, will remain CEO.

Pinnington, who previously worked at V Loans, Accord Mortgages and the Yorkshire Building Society, was delighted to take over as CEO and was fortunate to have inherited a strong team.

“It’s been a tough 12 months, but as a company we are still very busy and we look forward to seeing our most successful first quarter ever,” he said.

“We now look forward to building on this success and executing our exciting growth plans for the future,” he continued.

“We’re part of a group of complementary companies and we have some exciting news afoot for the days and weeks ahead, so it’s a great time to be part of the business.”

Martin added that he was excited to see Pinnington take over.

“I’ve known Dave for many years and he has more than a proven track record in the industry,” said Martin.

“He is a very popular character in the business and has built a strong team during his time with us.

“I am very much looking forward to working with Dave in the future to grow our group of companies and offer a collection of financial, real estate and beyond advisory firms that strive to become the next generation of advisors.

“As a group we had a fantastic year with transactions totaling over £ 1bn.”

He added, “Check out this section for more news from our group that will be released shortly.”
