Novia recruits sales trio

Novia, the new wrap launched by Selestia co-founder Bill Vasilieff, has recruited three new members for its sales team.

Charlie Hastings, Steve Wissett and Brian King will be joining Novia from Selestia Investment Solutions.

All three were previously regional sales managers at Selestia and then subsequently at the new integrated Skandia platform.

At Novia, Wissett will be regional sales manager for the North West Region, King will take on the role of regional sales manager for the Midlands and the South West, and Hastings for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The trio will join Novia throughout August and September this year.

They will work alongside Chris French, manager for the North East, and Paul Boston who will be heading up the team as director of sales. The appointments bring the Novia sales team up to five with only one remaining vacancy for the Thames Valley region.

Bill Vasilieff, CEO of Novia, says: “I am delighted that that Charlie, Steve and Brian are joining the Novia team. I have worked with all three of them in the past and all of them bring a wealth of experience, a very impressive sales track record, and are all highly experienced in dealing with a new model proposition. The near completion of the sales team is an important milestone for us as we head towards launch later on this year."
