The people behind Parallel Lines

Parallel Lines believes that great client outcomes are driven by great organisational cultures. The leadership team is responsible for ensuring that the standards set are adhered to.

Chris Masters, Chief Operating Officer & Chairman

With over 20 years industry experience, Chris started at the bottom and worked his way up to starting and successfully operating Talking Finances since 2014.  This bottom up experience gives Chris the skill set for understanding all operational aspects of the business and his Fellowship status with the Personal Finance Society makes him well placed to oversee the business as Chairman.

Niall Humphries, Non Executive Director

A widely experienced (UK and abroad) operator, Niall has kept regulated planning businesses safe for many years.  Working for the majority of his career in banking he has the working knowledge of what world class governance looks like.  For Parallel Lines this experience and continued advice and guidance will make us the best we can be.

Mark Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Financial Officer

With over 30 years industry experience, Mark established Waymark in 2011. This experience together with his Army background gives Mark the discipline to know what the best businesses do well. Mark is obsessed with putting clients first and throughout his career has been very vocal with senior management who fall short of this standard.  Our clients are our business and that obsession is the driving force behind Parallel Lines.
