Guardian Financial Planning has hired Tim McCallum as its Western Australian advice network manager in place of John Maskew, who left the role to join Tandem Financial Advice as practice development manager for Western Australia.

Guardian Financial Planning national manager Steve Browning said McCallum would start with the group in Perth on July 18.

Before joining Guardian, McCallum spent four years working as the Western Australian practice development manager for AXA Financial Planning and Charter Financial Planning.

Browning said McCallum would focus on developing the company’s two Western Australian businesses, Guardian Financial Planning and Cameron Walshe, which currently have around 25 advisers combined in Western Australia.

“Tim has some good relationships in the west, both at AXA and externally… Guardian’s offer is a pretty attractive one and combined with Tim and his knowledge, skill and experience, we expect he will bring new advisers to our group,” he said.

Browning said he did not expect to lose advisers to Tandem in the wake of Maskew’s departure.

Maskew said the main focus of his new role with Tandem would be to increase growth within the group’s nine existing Western Australian businesses, which have a total of 15 authorised representatives.

He said the group also aimed to add at least four high-quality businesses to its stable by the end of the year, adding he would approach some businesses currently within the Guardian group, which he considered to be a “perfect fit with Tandem”. He said however, some other practices within Guardian would not suit Tandem’s model.
