In the last few years, the group has seen unbelievable growth in all areas, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to come in and support the department along with the wider business in our next step.
“We simply cannot wait to get started – exciting times ahead here at Brilliant.”
Gosai (pictured) added: “I am very happy to join what is already a great company. This role is one I wasn’t able to decline. The aim we have is to take Brilliant Solutions to the next level and set a benchmark for service and helping brokers capitalise on assisting and educating with our expertise.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Matthew pre-credit-crunch, and this move feels to me like I am home again. For me, home is where the heart is.”
Matthew Arena, managing director of Brilliant Group, said: “This business is built on its people, and with the arrival of Sonny, we are privileged to be adding one of the industry’s best to our incredible leadership team. Sonny’s skills and abilities are the perfect complement to our team and we are looking forward to developing this business alongside him.”
