Stonebridge Group targets adviser expansion with new hire

Hayley will be tasked with increasing both the number of new appointed representative firms and adviser numbers, as well as ensuring greater product penetration under Stonebridge Genus, the Group’s directly authorised proposition.

Hayley has over 30 years’ experience in financial services, most recently as regional recruitment director for Openwork. Prior to this she spent over 12 years in a number of recruitment and business development roles at Sesame Bankhall Group.

Lesley Sharkey, business development director at Stonebridge Group, commented: “As we grow the Group, it’s vitally important that we have a strong recruitment division who can espouse the many benefits that Stonebridge can offer advisers. We’re very pleased to bring Hayley on board; she has a great deal of experience within the network market and a proven track record in recruitment and business development. We are confident she’ll be a real asset to the business and will help grow adviser numbers and activity levels as we seek to hit our ambitious targets for this year and beyond.”

Hayley Stansfield added: “I’m delighted to be joining Stonebridge Group at an unparalleled point in the Group’s strategic development. Significant investment and resource is being placed into the business right across the piece and it is my job to outline what a comprehensive proposition we have here with choice and flexibility at the heart of the offering. Any firm or adviser looking at their current options in the advice market should consider what Stonebridge has to offer, and feel free to contact either myself or any member of the recruitment team to see how we can make this happen.”
