Forbes quits PIS
Paul Forbes (pictured) has resigned as head of product and research for big dealer group Professional Investment Services (PIS) ahead of its proposed merger with listed company Centrepoint Alliance.
Forbes will sign off the week before Christmas after five years with the group. He originally joined the group in the dual role of chief operating officer for PIS and managing director of Professional Investment Holdings subsidiary, Australian Loan Company. In a restructure last year Forbes was named group general manager, product and research, for PIS.
PIH managing director Grahame Evans described Forbes as a “grounded leader” and someone whose “industry, product and operational expertise” the group had benefited from. Prior to joining PIS Forbes was general manager of Suncorp-owned dealer groups Guardian Financial Planning and Cameron Walshe.
The group is yet to announce a replacement.
