Lighthouse appoints network director after Gazard joins Sesame

National advice firm Lighthouse Group has appointed Danyel Jordan as managing director of its network Lighthouse Advisory Services.

Jordan, who will take up the position from 1 February, is currently the network's group project director and will take over from Stephen Gazard who has moved to rival network Sesame Bankhall as its distribution director this week.

Malcolm Streatfield (pictured), chief executive of Lighthouse Group said: 'Danyel has proven ability, skill, and has a passion for good service allied to quality standards of delivery.

‘He will be a real asset to the senior team as we support our membership through the years ahead. Danyel will report directly to the group’s chief executive.'

Jordan joined Lighthouse in 2002 and prior to that he was the membership recruitment manager for BWA, the forerunner to Lighthouse Advisory Services.
