People: George Square Financial Management; The Nottingham

George Square Financial Management has expanded its team with two new hires.
Experienced pair Phil Browne and Alex Barrett have joined the Nottingham-based firm as mortgage protection advisers.
Browne said: “The team at George Square work hard to establish long-lasting relationships with each and every client they work with and build mutual trust and respect. This is something that I feel passionately about too.
“I am thrilled to be joining the team and feel eager to putting my wealth of expertise in the increasingly diverse mortgage market to good use when advising clients.”
Barrett added: “I was attracted to George Square for the career progression and development opportunities that the company actively seeks for its employees, and the chance to learn and grow alongside its highly skilled, professional, and friendly team.
“Through focussing on the specialist lending market and providing support to borrowers who are likely to face more of a challenge in securing a mortgage, I can’t wait to hit the ground running and make an impact at the firm.”
Richard Goodman has replaced Amanda Miller as BDM at The Nottingham.
Goodman has previously worked for HSBC, Lloyds Group, RBS and Coventry Building Society.

He said: “I’m thrilled to be here and looking forward to building and growing great working relationships with brokers across the East Midlands.
“It’s a challenge that really appeals, not least because the Society has shown such ambition recently to deliver several positive additions to its products and services.
“I’ve always stuck by a principle of doing the right thing by people and it is clear to me that The Nottingham shares that ethos. It’s an exciting time to be here.”
