Tynan Mackenzie doubles adviser numbers
Planning group Tynan Mackenzie has concluded a spate of appointments effectively doubling its senior adviser and planner numbers.
Chief executive Tony Fenning says the addition of seven new advisers is part of continued growth in the business which focuses on senior corporate, government and business professionals.
"We have a good formula for retaining and servicing clients and we need high calibre advisers and executives to do this," Fenning says.
The expansion began last year with the addition of Tony Nash from St George Financial Planning, Rod Hayes from Deloittes and Brisbane based lawyer Chris Wyeth.
However since October the pace of the new additions quickened with senior adviser Frazer Manton coming across from Deutsche Bank in Brisbane and Brian Murray joining in November.
These were followed in December with the addition of Richard Marsden, senior adviser with National Australia Bank (NAB) and then the Berkley Group in Brisbane. Hans Koch has also joined after a decade of superannuation consulting to BHP and will work in the Wollongong region while accountant Mark Miller has joined the Sydney office.
Last month, Jim Sydes joined the Brisbane office from NAB, having been its number two business writer for the past two years while accountant and tax agent Andrew Wiefler joined the Sydney office from the Adviser Group.
Fenning says the group is also interested in expanding beyond Brisbane and Sydney into Melbourne and Canberra and may look at other locations after those are settled.
