The appointment will support TTC as it continues to grow its portfolio of critical training and compliance services in regulatory driven markets, with a broader solution for customers.

The new hire comes hot on the heels of TTC’s acquisition of Miad Healthcare, as well as the addition of construction and infrastructure training company Synergie Training to the group earlier this year.

Hastings has extensive and varied experience across the public and private sectors in private equity-backed businesses and is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales.

He joins TTC from connected cloud solutions provider, FluidOne where, as commercial CFO, he played a pivotal role in securing numerous strategic acquisitions and tripling revenue during his tenure.

Previous to this, Hastings supported Property Information Exchange, a PropTech software and services provider, to deliver a rapid acquisition and integration programme prior to leading the sale of the group to a listed North American acquirer.

Hastings will use his extensive M&A experience to help consolidate further strategic acquisitions beneath the TTC Group umbrella.

David Marsh, CEO of TTC Group, said: “Roy’s understanding of our customer base, the product types we are looking to grow into and his knowledge of private equity stood out.

“We have numerous opportunities in the pipeline which we feel confident of securing with our newly bolstered team and achieving our strategic objective of being the UK’s go-to training and compliance expert. I am personally really excited about Roy becoming part of our fantastic team here at TTC and what he will bring to the future.”
