TMG appoints Graham Bradley as chief compliance and innovation officer

TMG Mortgage Network has appointed Graham Bradley CeMAP, CeFAP to the newly created position of chief compliance and innovation officer (CCIO), a dual-focused role that reflects the network’s emphasis on regulatory strength and scalable growth through technology.

The role brings together two core elements of TMG’s long-term strategy: maintaining strong regulatory practices while embedding innovation throughout its operations. The CCIO position is designed to ensure compliance not only safeguards the business but actively contributes to its progress.

“This role is about more than governance, it’s about growth,” said Scott Thorpe, CEO of TMG Mortgage Network. “As we scale the network, we need to ensure our culture, systems and support scale with us. Graham’s appointment ensures we’re building infrastructure that’s both robust and future-proof.”

“We’re not just investing in AI tools or oversight functions, we’re investing in the kind of leadership that keeps our brokers protected, our reputation strong, and our service ahead of the curve,” Thorpe continued. “This is what a modern network looks like: smart, agile, and driven by people who understand both the rules and the real world.”

Since joining the network in 2024, Bradley has played a central role in reshaping TMG’s compliance approach, focusing on clarity, commercial relevance, and adviser-centric systems. In his expanded remit, he will oversee all regulatory activity across the business while leading innovation strategy, particularly in the deployment of AI and digital tools to support brokers and internal teams.

“This isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about raising the bar,” said Graham Bradley, CCIO (pictured). “TMG is serious about culture, serious about growth, and serious about doing things differently.”

“My job now is to hardwire that into how we scale, supporting our appointed representatives and internal teams with systems that work, training that sticks, and standards that evolve with the market,” he explained. “Compliance should never feel like a blocker, it should feel like a blueprint. That’s the mindset we’re bringing to every part of this network.”

The creation of the CCIO role marks another step in TMG’s efforts to build what it describes as one of the UK’s most modern and adaptable mortgage networks. Recent developments have focused on embedding support, regulatory alignment, and AI capabilities across its operations, including mortgages, protection, and equity release.
