New regional manager at AFS Group
Newly appointed regional manager Richard Liverpool will take on a dual regional and national role at Australian Financial Services Group (AFS).
Liverpool will fill the position left vacant by Meaghan Unsworth, who was appointed head of strategic development at the end of August.
Before his appointment at AFS, Liverpool was a senior consultant with the Financial Recruitment Group.
Based in Sydney, Liverpool will be responsible for AFS' business and recruiting growth in New South Wales and the ACT.
Commenting on the appointment, AFS chief executive officer and managing director Peter Daly said Liverpool would take on a dual role to ensure the dealer group is fully prepared for the impending Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms.
"Richard would have a dual role with AFS Group, utilising his highly regarded industry and business strengths as regional manager - but he will also lead the dealer group's 'FOFA Ready' program to ensure all practices are FOFA ready and able by May 31, 2012," Daly said.
