Dawson emerges in recruitment
The formermanaging director of Chifley Financial Services’ financial planning division, Peter Dawson, has resurfaced in the financial services industry for the first time since his departure from the Chifley group, embarking on a new career in the world of high-end employment consulting.
Dawson, who was with Chifley for four years, has become the executive director in charge of the Sydney office of the specialist financial services employment agency, the Financial Recruitment Group.
Dawson was forced out as the head of Chifley’s financial planning division in March as part of a restructure of the group by its new owners, the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, the Energy Industry Super Scheme (EISS) and the NSW Labour Council
The restructure, which came only months after the three groups bought into Chifley when previous part-owner Aberdeen sold out late last year, resulted in Chifley being combined with FuturePlus, the financial planning arm of the Local Government Superannuation Scheme.
Terry Malpass, who had been the head of financial planning at FuturePlus, took over from Dawson as head of the newly combined planning groups.
Dawson’s new role will see him focus on the recruitment of senior managers across the entire spectrum of financial services roles, including funds management and financial planning.
