His background includes a decade at Northern Rock, managing business development teams, and a two-year tenure at Legal & General as head of intermediary accounts.

“We are delighted to welcome Adam to the senior management team at HLP,” said Christopher Tanner, chief executive at HLPartnership. “He fills the role of operations director, a new position in the business. HLP is growing, and Adam’s appointment will bring greater focus to our growth strategy along with the ability to coordinate separate departments’ efforts to better meet the needs of the business.
“Adam’s comprehensive experience of both sides of our industry uniquely positions him to add tremendous value to our team. His expertise will undoubtedly help us enhance our operational efficiencies and support the delivery of HLPartnership’s new integrated technology platform.”
Commenting on his appointment, Smith shared his optimism about bringing his wealth of experience to HLP.
“I am confident that my experience will be of great value to HLP and looking forward to working with my new colleagues to help HLP grow and flourish,” he said. “Having worked extensively either side of the industry, I have a deep appreciation for the importance of strong relationships, a winning proposition, and working collaboratively to deliver efficient and effective operations that power growth. I am proud to be able to play a pivotal role in the network’s continued success.”
