Roy commented “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the James Hallam Board and look forward to working with our Distribution Partners as well as new acquisition opportunities. It’s a really exciting time as we drive our refreshed Distribution strategy and continue to grow, organically and through acquisitions. I'm really proud to be part of the James Hallam business and helping to build a long-term future as a truly independent, specialised regional broker."
