Leaders Romans Group recruits heavyweight to lead financial services surge

Tom Davies has started with Leaders Romans Group as the company’s first group financial services managing director.

This new position coincides with LRG’s rapid growth, both organically and through acquisition. So far in 2024 LRG has acquired Stirling Ackroyd, Alexander & Co and Peter Ball. These acquisitions expanded LRG by a further 41 branches. 

Kevin Shaw, national managing director for the agency group, comments: “LRG is proud to offer an end-to-end property service – from land sales and planning through to property sales and lettings, along with many specialist divisions including mortgage and insurance advice. Expanding our financial services division and making this senior team appointment forms part of our exciting growth strategy.

“In 2024 our plans are to further develop our financial services multichannel and online propositions, whilst also maintaining a significant high street mortgage adviser presence.

“While we are scaling up, it is also important that we retain the entrepreneurial spirit and agility that has driven the company’s success to date.”

Davies himself says: “For both aspiring and existing homeowners or investors, the need for quality advice on mortgages and related products, such as life and income protection cover, has never been more important. I’m committed that we continue to deliver this to LRG’s growing client-base.”

Leaders Romans Group now has over 300 estate agency branches and employs circa 3,250 people
