Sentry’s founder named new chair of PMM Group
Murray Hills, a founder, managing director and chief executive of Perth-based financial planning group Sentry Group who stepped down from his role in June after 15 years, has been appointed as an executive chair of financial services group PMM Group.
Prior to Sentry, Murray was managing director and CEO of the DKN FinancialGroup and he was also an inaugural and past associate member of the Financial Planning association (FPA) and a fellow, life member and past National President of the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA).
“PMM is about to embark on a new chapter and is positioned positively to seize opportunities in a changing and evolving financial services landscape. I’m delighted to have this opportunity to head PMM at a time of exciting change and disruption in financial services,” Hills said.
PMM, which has been operating for 10 years, currently comprises four advisory practice subsidiaries and is a full service national financial advice business offering comprehensive and integrated solutions to individuals and business clients.
PMM is self-licensed through its wholly owned subsidiary, Badge Financial, and has state offices in Perth and Melbourne with plans to open in Sydney in 2021.
