Van Eyk looks for new faces
Van EykResearch is expanding its business, particularly in the areas of asset consulting services and research subscriptions and is advertising for staff despite already having added six people over the past three months.
According to van Eyk Research director Mark Thomas, the 40 per cent growth in revenue per annum the business has achieved over the past four years, makes now the right time to recruit staff.
Winning the mandate to provide investment consulting and research to Queensland super fund, Sunsuper also makes now a good time to grow, Thomas says.
The new appointments include Dr Peter Smith who has joined van Eyk as a consultant and Wanda Jaworski who joined the business three months ago in the customer service area for the master fund and asset consulting business.
A customer services person and salesperson have also been joined the irate team, van Eyk’s software rating tool.
Thomas says van Eyk is also looking to appoint another client services person for the asset consulting business shortly, and is interviewing another person for the research division.
Over the past four years, the total staff numbers at van Eyk has grown from 15 to 25. Thomas says the scaleability of the business and the fact that technology has reduced the number of IT people now needed to install irate, means the business can concentrate on sales and asset consulting.
