Gary Gillespie, who has led ITE for the past six years, will continue at TTNG as product, distribution and capability director. However, his role will take on a group-wide focus, with oversight for products, platforms, and ongoing training and development – including the group's training academy and its digital assistant.

Knapp, meanwhile, joined the company in 2014 as operations manager and has since progressed through to the roles of sales manager and sales director.

TTNG said Knapp had "worked closely with ITE members throughout her time in the business and brings strong commercial insight alongside a detailed understanding of what ITE members need to succeed".
