It begins the new year with a revamped senior team
Advisor network Equity Release Associates (ERA) has revamped its senior team with the appointments of Justin Wysocki as chief executive officer and Ryan Mansell as general manager.
Wysocki (pictured top), with more than 16 years of experience in financial services, joins from Age Partnership, where he was head of marketing, marketing director, and most recently, chief revenue officer. He also worked for Lloyds Banking Group for more than three years.
Speaking about his new role, Wysocki said he was delighted to take on the CEO role for ERA, with the network looking to change direction for 2023 and beyond.
“We already have a fantastic calibre of advisers who we’re excited to help develop their own businesses,” he added. “We want to be known as a network for advisers who are keen to write a volume of business, help customers and share best practices with each other. As an organisation, we will provide all the support required to help advisers reach their objectives.”
Mansell (pictured below) joins ERA from Later Years Financial Solutions, where he had been a director. He also had stints at Age Partnership, Leeds Building Society, Lloyds Bank, and HSBC.
“Ryan was the obvious choice to take the helm as general manager, given his experience as an equity release adviser, trainer and leader,” Wysocki said. “I’m looking forward to guiding Ryan and the team this year, as we help advisers to grow their own businesses by offering market leading toolkits and commissions.”
Mansell shared that while working as an independent equity release adviser, he saw first-hand the huge benefits that come with being part of the ERA network.
“Advisers within the network can take advantage of market leading technology, systems, administration and compliance skills, which not only benefits the advisers, but ultimately it enables advisers to enrich the lives of their clients,” he commented.
