By Craig Phillips
AonWealth Management andAon Financial Planning & Protectionhave appointedBT Financial Groupfinancial planning and advice (FP&A) chief operating officer Michel Scutts to work in the same capacity across the two separate dealer groups.
Scutts will assist Aon’s newly appointed managing director of both dealer firms, Greg Dunger, in signing up additional staff as the combined businesses set about enhancing the level of support offered to planners.
“We’re looking to recruit some additional people. They will hold various roles is all I can say at this stage, but essentially it’s all about ramping up our services to planners and supporting them in their businesses,” Scutts says.
Aon Wealth Management and Aon Financial Planning & Protection, which both hold their own Australian Financial Services Licences, have 35 and 190 authorised representatives respectively.
Scutts is also responsible for all compliance, training and administration matters, and stands alongside Aon general manager distribution and marketing Tony Lye in reporting directly to Dunger.
The group recently incorporated another of its dealer groups — Aon Financial Adviser Services — into the remaining two as part of former managing director Denis Owen’s strategy to run the firm under a “One Aon” structure.
