Mark Sutton appointed Protected Trust Services MD

Commercial director Sutton, who joined PTS in January 2020, takes over from Daniel Landen, who will move into a chief executive post.

He will retain an "active role" in the firm’s operations, PTS said in a statement. The business said Sutton had played "pivotal" role in PTS’s growth and development over the past 18 months. 

"It is a huge honour to have been appointed managing director of Protected Trust Services, especially at such an exciting time for the company," said Sutton.

"PTS has ambitious plans for the coming years and the positive management changes will assist in accelerating PTS’s continued growth.

"I am thrilled to have a fantastic team and I know that together we will continue to offer increased support to both our existing and future members.”
