BT-owned financial advice firm, Securitor, has announced its acting managing director, Mark Fisher, has been appointed to the role.
His permanent appointment is the next step in the group's growth, according to BT Financial Group's general manager of group licensees, Phil Butterworth.

Fisher has been with BT for the past six years and joined Securitor in 2014 as the state manager for NSW and Queensland. Prior to this he was state manager of Westpac Financial Planning in Queensland and head of bank distribution for BT.
"I bring to Securitor a passion for financial planning and the profession, a strong focus on execution and doing the things we say we are going to do and a real focus on the client and outcomes that our advisers provide," Fisher said.
"I am excited to be leading a group of professional financial planning businesses with high standards of governance and compliance, who are passionate about the client experience and are committed to innovation and execution."
