FORMER Bury man Steve Harwood has joined Cardiff-based secure personal loans provider FIRSTPLUS.
He has been appointed quality assurance and compliance manager after 12 years in trading standards with Bury and Oldham councils.
Originally from Bury, Steve specialised in "fair trading", transferring to Knowsley Council where he spent the last five years as area trading standards officer.
In his new role, he will be responsible for advising his employers on the increasingly complex regulatory environment that applies in consumer credit and working to prevent fraud and money laundering.
Steve says: "I developed a speciality in consumer credit regulation while working as a trading standards officer and this is an exciting opportunity for me to move to a different environment with a fast-moving company."
