Intermediary training provider Gold Seal is establishing an international division to facilitate overseas growth and accommodate the London market in areas such as delegated authorities following Brexit.

MD Sheila Baker says as the UK nears its exit from the European Union, Gold Seal needs to prepare for the international spread of London’s operations and clients.

“We believe we can capitalise on current activity to grow a field of resources that will understand the international requirements of escalating regulation, stricter regimes in the markets and increased delegated authority activity,” she said.

Audit and Technical Services Manager Lorraine Calway and her team will largely lead the international operation.

Gold Seal currently has clients in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand. From January 1 services to overseas clients will be provided by Gold Seal International.
