Is now a good time to mention I've joined MoneyExpert?

Some of you may have noticed that I've been a little quiet of late on the forums. After spending 4 very happy years at Leadbay I have left them in order to work at Money Expert.

It was great fun setting up an independent affiliate program for Leadbay and taking it to be the largest mortgage lead generation program in the UK generating and distributing over well over 1000 leads a day however as we all know the mortgage market isn't doing remarkably well at the moment and I want to branch out into other areas. I wish the guys at Leadbay all the best for the future.

Money Expert has great experience in a whole range of financial products and as Shane has pointed out it is a significantly profitable business with a large recent injection of funds. As Shane has also pointed out we are behind in paying the invoices of our affiliates at the moment and I have only just begun to look at their affiliate program. Whilst words mean nothing and actions mean everything I just want to give you an idea of why things have got a little behind schedule. We recently had 2 senior finance dept employees leave and the hand over was minimal. The finance dept has also relocated to Brighton which is where I am also now permanently based. On top of this we have had a change of financial systems which has lead to some loss of data and we have to backtrack a little to ensure all the figures are accurate.

Rob is a real person based in Brighton too but hounding him will not help right now. I am activly working to resolve the backlog so please bear with me a little. Please drop me an email if you have any questions / demands or if you really need to give me a call on 01273 900034.

Simon, don't forget to update your profile icon as it's still showing Leadbay

[Mike_M]

Good luck Simon, sounds like you've got a challenging few months ahead!

[Shane]

Simon do you actually still work there ?

I only ask as the last 5,6,7,8 !? pms/emails etc. have all gone without response from you.

tick tock .. 5 more days and my final invoice is overdue.. and then the fun starts !

[Michael_Anthony]

Not sure that it worked out for him - I invited him to connect with me on Linkedin over a week ago and still no response.

Perhaps he saw the mess there and voted with his feet?

Shane and Tom got paid but I decided not to continue working at MEX. I'll be back on the scene shortly.

Lifes too short m8!

Great move IMHO, best of luck in your next role and cheers again for being such a professional in helping me and Shane out!
