Colin Scully, the founder and managing director of Bridges Personal Investment Services, has resigned from the Financial Planning Asso-ciation’s board. But, he stresses, this was purely for personal and pro-fessional reasons.
Scully’s involvement in the industry first began in about 1992, in the days of the Australian Society of Investment and Financial Advisers.
He has since been active on just about every FPA committee, which required much time and commitment from him.
He first joined the FPA board about 18 months ago as a representative for the large dealer groups and was re-elected again in August.
“At that time I was 100 per cent committed to continue with my role (on the FPA’s board),” he says, noting that subsequent events related to family and business led to his resignation.
He adds that his departure from the FPA’s board had absolutely noth-ing to with David Williams’ resignation from Bridges and, in fact, took place before Williams left.
