MAB appoints ULS CEO Ben Thompson as managing director

Ben will take up the new board role within MAB from the 7th of June.

Prior to his role at ULS, Ben held senior positions at Legal & General Group, where he ran their mortgage distribution business before becoming managing director.

Steve Goodall, ULS's managing director, has been appointed as CEO at the firm to replace Thompson.

Chief executive officer, Peter Brodnicki, said: "MAB's strategy is very clear, and appointing Ben clearly reflects the level of ambition we have. This will be our seventh key appointment since IPO, and the first new role on the Executive Board.

"I am really looking forward to working closely with him to deliver our strategic objectives for the next five years and beyond. We will make a great team, and I have no doubt that we will be pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved even further than we do now."

Geoff Wicks, independent non-executive chairman of ULS Technology, commented: “We would like to thank Ben for what he has achieved at ULS and wish him every success in the future. We are pleased to appoint Steve as CEO; he has been running our core business with considerable success and has a wealth of experience in our market.

"The Company remains extremely well positioned to build on the strong growth to date and Steve’s reputation, relationships and experience will help us to continue to grow the business in the years ahead.”
