Sentry growth strategy underway
Sentry Financial Group (Sentry) has acquired Queensland-based dealer group Keating McCullough and Associates.
The boutique dealer group, which has a life and risk focus, has 12 authorised representatives.
Keating McCullough principals Mike Keating and Dough McCullough will remain with the group.
Sentry chairman and chief executive Murray Hills said the acquisition is the first of a number of growth and business initiatives the group hopes will transform it into a “top 20 national dealer group within three years”.
Hills said the boutique dealer has a strong reputation and an experienced network of advisers, and that the acquisition will provide “the basis for further penetration for Sentry in the Queensland marketplace”.
Sentry underwent a major restructure in June and last month appointed David Mazengarb as its new executive manager of finance and business development.
