Speaking at the announcement, Chairman Joe Moran said, “We are delighted to make this appointment. Mark’s contribution as Finance Director during the past five years and more recently as CEO of the Group’s Irish Operations has had an enormous positive impact on the financial and operational fortunes of the Group. His strong leadership skills, undoubted operational ability, vision for the business and reputation within the market made him the logical choice. Under his leadership we are confident that IFG is now well placed for growth.” According to the new CEO, Mark Bourke “The business is in good shape and our focus now is on developing the Group’s three divisions. In
each division we see considerable opportunity to grow organically and through acquisition.Examples of our development plans include, the recent Jersey acquisition by our International division which is already fully integrated, Seniors Money, our new and innovative life-time loan solution for the over 60s which we’ve joint ventured with Sentinel, and the launch of IFG Spain, which offers much needed independent legal and tax advice to overseas property buyers.” Mark went on to say, “IFG is very much a people business and we are fortunate to have such a strong senior management team and high quality staff at all levels. We are committed to developing these talented people who are critical to our future success.”
