Bombora recruits PRP


Boutique financial planning dealer group, Bombora, has added another financial planning practice to its membership.
The group announced this week that Queensland-based practice, Personal Risk Professionals had signed up to operate under the Bombora Advice masthead.
Bombora managing director, Wayne Handley said PRP had been established in 2009 by Brisbane-based adviser, Mark Everingham, and now boasted a team of dedicated risk specialists in Queensland, NSW and Victoria.
Handley said he believed Everingham had been attracted to join Bombora by its boutique structure, risk focus and non-aligned status.
