First Names Group has appointed Stuart Pinnington, a corporate funds lawyer, as Group Managing Director Corporate Services.

As part of his new role, Mr Pinnington (pictured right) will work closely with the leadership team and will be a member of the Group’s Management Committee.

Commenting on his appointment Mr Pinnington said: “I’m delighted to be joining First Names Group particularly as we are entering into an extremely exciting period of growth for our business following the announcement of our acquisition by SGG Group late last year. I’m particularly looking forward to working closely with my new team to deliver the exceptional level of client service for which the Group is known and, once the necessary regulatory consents are in place, to work with our new SGG Group colleagues in taking this business to even greater success.”

Mark Pesco, First Names Group Chief Executive Officer said: “Stuart is both well-known and hugely respected in the industry. He combines great technical expertise with a deep understanding of the industry and a strong client focussed approach, which make him an excellent commercial and cultural fit not only for our business as it stands today but even more so for the newly combined business in the future."
