Tenet has announced changes to the board at Tenet Limited and Tenet Group Limited levels.
Three long-serving members of the team are joining the Tenet Limited board. Head of business systems, Martin Gartside, becomes IT director; head of relationship management, Steve Jones, is now adviser relationship director and head of compliance, Mark Thomas, has been named as compliance delivery director.
In addition, at group board level, Gill Davidson will be leaving Tenet mid-December and Mike O’Brien will be taking over as group regulatory director. His current responsibilities as group brands director will be reassigned to other Tenet Group Limited board members.
These appointments are all subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
O’Brien joined Tenet in 2009 as Retail Distribution Review (RDR) programme director. He said: “MiFID II, the Financial Advice Market Review, Brexit and the consolidation of guidance services are but a few of the major issues the sector will have to tackle and I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.”
Martin Greenwood, Tenet Group chief executive, added: “Mike brings a wealth of experience to the group regulatory director role which, together with the other board changes, means that Tenet Group is in great shape to take full advantage of all the opportunities that will naturally follow in the wake of so much regulatory and political change and uncertainty.
“These appointments will help take the business to the next level, where we shall continue to focus on providing quality financial advice that results in positive customer outcomes.
“I would like to thank Gill for her very positive contribution to Tenet over the past three and a half years and wish her every success for the future.”
