In previous years, Rob worked alongside DV executive chairman, Paul Gratton, founding and building the franchised brokerage Mortgageforce. In January 2009, Rob became managing director at Virgin Money but left the post to take up other non executive roles, some of which will continue.
Commenting, Paul Gratton said: “We have a clear, overarching strategy for our family of businesses to deliver fresh solutions in sectors which currently poorly serve the consumer. We are very pleased that Rob has joined us to spearhead some of these exciting developments we have planned for the future.
“Rob brings energy and enthusiasm, together with extensive knowledge of the sector, and he’s a very welcome addition to our business.”
Rob Clifford added “Paul and his team are at it again, channelling their experience and determination into revolutionising sectors where incumbents are failing the consumer or just plain lazy. I couldn’t think of a better quest to take on. It’s going to be a very busy year as we roll out those plans.”
