Prior to joining FRP, Dan spent seven years working for the FCA in its specialist supervision division, focusing on financial resilience challenges and periods of decline in regulated firms. Whilst at the FCA, amongst other things, Dan led and delivered the resolution strategy approach for failing or failed IFA practices, and also for non-standard investments/mini-bonds, working closely with the regulated firms, their advisors and the FSCS to seek positive outcomes for all stakeholders.
