The firm stated that the three individuals’ promotions were a testament to its commitment to creating opportunities for growth and progression as well as signifying a vote of confidence in the existing team which showed the company’s belief in their employees’ potential.
Their promotions were part of CLS Money’s expansion plans slated for the next five years.
