Mercer continues hiring campaign
MercerWealth Solutions is continuing to steadily grow its professional ranks with the appointment of a head of business development for New South Wales and Queensland to drive its growth in those states.
Former PerpetualTrustees senior financial consultant Faye Horn, who assumes the title of business development manager, northern region, will join the group next month and adds to a plethora of recent sign-ups at the firm.
Over the past three months, the financial planning arm of Mercer has appointed former Bridgeport staffers Bronwyn Speed (chief financial adviser) and Howard Pitts (senior adviser) and former CPS Credit Union financial services manager Janis Marsh (senior adviser).
The group has also recently promoted three team members, with David Anderson becoming national practice leader, while Joshua Marley and Craig Stubbs were both promoted to take on financial adviser positions in the Sydney and Parramatta offices respectively.
As for Horn, prior to her time at Perpetual, she worked in similar business development positions at Ipac Securities, the Securities Institute of Australia and APM Training Institute.
“Faye will further strengthen and expand our relationships with employers and super funds. She will lead our effort to take our business to a new level in these states,” Anderson says.
