Patron targets further growth with Vic appointment
Patron Financial Advice has appointed a Victorian state manager as it looks to increase its footprint on the eastern seaboard.
Sharon Cummins was most recently Victorian state manager for Australian Financial Services and has over 18 years industry experience, according to Patron.
Patron currently has around 50 adviser businesses in New South Wales and the ACT. It began business in 2007 and has a stated aim of establishing an eastern seaboard presence, and will look to add a Queensland-based role early next year.
Cummins's responsibilities will include the recruitment of planners and risk advisers; practice management support of these planners; monitoring advice quality; promoting the Patron brand in Victoria; and the professional development of Patron's Victorian advisers.
