Mark Graves to leave Pink

Mark Graves joined Pink on a twelve month secondment four years ago, with the brief of revamping the sales operation after LSL Property Services plc bought the network from Skipton Building Society; this was later extended into a wider role as part of a three year strategic development plan for the network.

Jon Round, LSL’s Group Financial Services Director, said:

“Following the acquisition of Pink in 2010, LSL had a clear vision of how we could help firms and advisers in the network realise their potential in a recovering market. During this period Pink has grown from strength to strength, regularly breaking performance records and winning numerous industry awards.

"Now that the business is in such a strong position, Mark has indicated that he wishes to seek out a new opportunity and I wish him well in whatever venture he takes on next. In Pink Network, Mark is leaving a business that has an exciting future; Pink is well placed to deliver further growth, and we will continue to enhance the support to our advisers as we move into the next phase of the development of the business."

Mark Graves added:

“I am extremely proud of what we have achieved during the last four years and would like to thank the staff and advisers for the commitment and support they have given me during this time. I leave on a high and the fact our advisers have just raised over £8,000 to support two families on the SevenFamilies initiative shows what can be achieved when you build a collective team spirit from a group of individuals.”
