PENTAGON GROUP SUPPORTS FRANCHISE & INTRODUCER NETWORK WITH
NEW COMPLIANCE MANAGER
New role focuses on compliance for EuroDebt, Atlantic and MoneySave brands
Leading debt solutions business, the Pentagon Group, has created a new role to
provide its network of franchisees and introducers with greater support in dealing with
the myriad of compliance issues in the financial services sector. Gerry Mansfield has
been appointed as Compliance Manager, to provide a focus on compliance right
across the Pentagon Group business encompassing the EuroDebt Financial
Services, Atlantic Financial Management and MoneySave Financial Solutions
brands.
Gerry Mansfield has worked in the Financial Solutions, Legal, Debt Recovery and
Credit Management industries for more than twenty years and has a wealth of
experience of the operational processes as well as the latest regulation. His role will
encompass Auditing of the Pentagon Group network of Franchisees and Introducers,
Training on new compliance and regulatory issues and general day to day
compliance control within the Group as a whole.
“Gerry Mansfield has joined the Pentagon Group at a crucial stage in its expansion
where we have set-up new subsidiaries and expanded the range of services we offer
in a market that is subject to major regulatory change” confirmed Kevin Still, Director,
Pentagon Group. “As a leading franchisor with over eighty franchisees each holding
a consumer credit licence it important that we find the right balance between our
commercial and compliance activities, especially as we deliver face-to-face debt
advice, generally in the privacy of the client’s home.
“Gerry brings considerable experience from the credit and finance sectors with
companies subject to regulation by both the FSA and the OFT. We are also
continuing to strengthen our head office and field based support teams, including ongoing use of specialist external auditors and trainers.”
“There is a real focus from government and consumer bodies to ensure consumers
are treated fairly, especially when it comes to credit and financial services” continued
Gerry Mansfield. “It’s crucial, therefore, that those individuals and organisations that
represent the Pentagon Group brands have the support to ensure the activities they
undertake are fully compliant. It’s an exciting opportunity and I am looking forward to
working with the network of Franchisees and Introducers over the coming months.”
