Centrepoint/PIH and Bennetts part ways
The founder and former chief executive of Professional Investment Holdings (PIH) has formally parted ways with the group, with parent company Centrepoint Alliance announcing it would be ending the two-days-per-week consultancy agreement it has with Robbie Bennetts.
Bennetts stepped aside from his executive role early last year, and the group formalised a merger with Centrepoint later in 2010.
Since ending his full-time employment with PIH, Bennetts had been employed by Centrepoint as a consultant for two days a week to support PIH Group conferences and develop new business opportunities, according to Centrepoint.
The Centrepoint board has elected to conclude its consultancy agreement with Bennetts, Centrepoint stated.
