Westbrook to exit FuturePlus
The chief executive of one of the first superannuation funds to provide in-house financial planning, Brett Westbrook, has announced his intention to leave his role at the head of FuturePlus.
The NSW Local Government and Energy Industries superannuation schemes, which own FuturePlus, cut new ground by providing financial planning to members through Chifley Financial Services.
In announcing Westbrook’s intended departure late September, the chairman of FuturePlus, Craig Murray, said the chief executive officer had been negotiating his departure for several months.
FuturePlus is expected to announce Westbrook’s successor in the next few months.
