Commenting on the appointments, Fiducia CEO, Gerry Sheehy, said: “As our client base continues to grow throughout the UK, EU and international markets, it’s essential that we continue to invest in our people and processes to further enable the delivery of our best-in-class service.

“David and Joanne are great operators who share Fiducia’s ‘can do’ attitude. They have both already had a positive impact and will ensure we maintain the responsive service levels our broker partners expect as we expand.”
