GESB chief executive Michele Dolin said more than 90 per cent of members had indicated they would like to see financial advisory services offered by the fund and, as a member-driven organisation, GESB was pleased to be able to meet the request.
The GESB financial planning offering will be made available on a fee for service basis.
