Over the next three to five years, Compass is looking to double the amount of money it is putting into the market via its own book and intermediaries.

Compass is particularly well known in print, packaging and engineering and has a really close relationship with their customers, partners and suppliers. They know the industry inside out, which will be a big learning curve for me. I am looking forward to bringing my experience into Compass to help further expand its capabilities”.
