MWA boosts Board with Phil Young appointment

MWA Financial (MWA) has appointed Phil Young as non-executive director.

The announcement comes on the back of the news that MWA has entered a long-term funding partnership with leading alternative finance provider ThinCats to build a national firm of independent financial advisers.  

The appointment will see Young work closely with MWA CEO Cam Banks and Executive Chairman Ed Rosengarten to help shape the proposition in a way that appeals to the growing number of IFAs looking at their own succession strategies.

Widely recognised and respected across financial services, Young has held numerous non-executive and executive director roles over the past decade, predominantly with firms looking for transformational growth. These include Threesixty, Sense Network, Ludlow Wealth Management and Pareto Financial Planning. 

Commenting on the appointment, Banks said: “They don’t come any more knowledgeable and experienced in this space than Phil, and to have him join the Board is testament to the significant progress we have made to date and the exciting plans we have for the future.”

Young said: “I’ve known Cam and the MWA team for a number of years and been impressed with the approach they have taken. Their ownership structure, combined with the funding partnership they have agreed with ThinCats, gives them a distinctive and attractive proposition in a competitive space. It’s great to be in a position to strengthen our working relationship as they embark on the next stage of their growth and development.”
