New dawn for financial services firm following MBO
Quartet of directors has taken on the leadership of Q Financial Services
A financial services business is embarking on a new chapter after undergoing a management buyout.
Q Financial Services, which has offices in Shrewsbury and Telford, is now under the leadership of directors Ben Wootton, Jacques Moulson, David Wells and Josh Timbrell.
Mr Wootton joined the firm in 2018 as a mortgage and protection adviser, supporting clients across the region with buying homes and putting cover in place for their families.
Mr Moulson brought experience from NatWest, where he worked across retail and commercial banking, before joining the firm in 2022.
Since then, he has developed into a dual qualified adviser, now working across mortgages as well as pensions and investments.
Mr Wells was one of the first to join the business after a career running golf venues.
He then moved into financial services as a mortgage adviser and has since progressed into commercial finance where he now supports businesses in securing funding.
Mr Timbrell adds further experience across commercial finance, residential mortgages and protection.
Holding a wide range of industry qualifications, his expertise also extends into pensions and investments, allowing him to support clients with a broad, joined-up approach to their finances.
Mr Wootton said: "We are delighted to be at the helm of what is already a fantastic business.
"This marks an exciting new chapter for Q Financial Services and we are looking forward to building on the strong foundations already in place while continuing to support our clients across the region."
The new leadership team also paid tribute to the previous directors Stuart Mackintosh, Ryan Wheeler, Steven Parry and Mitchell Gough for their role in building the business.
Mr Gough added: "It is with great pride that we are now handing over the Q Financial ownership baton to the most talented group of people I have had the pleasure of working alongside. It has been a wonderful journey and one I will cherish for the rest of my days.
"While I will remain in an advisory capacity, the reins have been passed to a highly capable team who will take Q Financial to the next level.
"It has been fantastic to witness and be part of their progression from trainee advisers to owner-directors.
"It also goes without saying that none of this would have been possible without the wider Q team, past and present, who have contributed so much to this outcome."
