The Kind Group is a collective of companies working across the Financial Services space. The Group began in 2008 when Mathew Kind left a management position in a leading bank to strike out on his own as Kind Financial Services, with the goal of offering customers a more personal service and the best possible range of products. Kind Financial Services offers mortgages and insurance and as a whole-of-market broker is able to find the best possible solution for a customer’s specific needs.

Four years later, Mat recognised there was an opening for a recruitment service run by people with first-hand Banking & FS experience and so he set up Kind Consultancy with Lynsey Moore. Kind Consultancy specialises in interim and permanent Governance, Risk, Compliance and Complaints opportunities, and utilises Mat and Lynsey’s understanding of the industry to provide a bespoke service which always focuses on how a vacancy fits into their clients’ wider business plans.

The same year, the Group expanded with Kind Wealth, run by Mathew Kind & Phillip Stroud, which looked to take the customer-first, tailored approach of Kind FS and apply it to wealth management and investments. Finally, in 2015, the group took this solution-focussed specialist approach into the commercial space with Kind Commercial, a commercial finance brokerage specialising in commercial mortgages, bridging, auction & development finance.

Taken together, the Kind Team now comprises over 30 people and the four businesses share offices in the heart of central Birmingham, allowing them to share knowledge on a regular basis keeping every part of the organisation on the forefront of industry and regulatory developments, ensuring the Kind Group is always one step ahead of their competitors and always working to provide the best possible service for their customers and clients.
